And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 2 of Hosea. Israel will again call the Lord "my husband" and leave behind the language associated with Baal. God promises to establish again a relationship resembling a marital covenant, characterized by righteousness, mercy, compassion, faithfulness, and knowledge of God. Restoration is not reduced to material prosperity: it consists of rebuilding the faithfulness that was destroyed by idolatry.

Alsdann spricht der HERR, wirst du mich heißen "mein Mann" und mich nicht mehr "mein Baal" heißen.
Y haré por ellos concierto en aquel tiempo con las bestias del campo, y con las aves del cielo, y con las serpientes de la tierra: y quebraré arco, y espada, y batalla de la tierra, y harelos dormir seguros.
En aquel día haré para ellos un pacto con las fieras del campo, las aves de los cielos y los reptiles de la tierra. Quitaré de la tierra el arco, la espada y la guerra, y los haré dormir seguros.
En ce jour-là, je traiterai pour eux une alliance avec les bêtes des champs, les oiseaux du ciel et les reptiles de la terre, je briserai dans le pays l'arc, l'épée et la guerre, et je les ferai reposer avec sécurité.
E in quel tempo farò che avran patto con le fiere della campagna, e con gli uccelli del cielo, e co’ rettili della terra; e romperò archi, e spade, e strumenti di guerra, e farò che verranno meno nel paese; e li farò giacere in sicurtà.
E naquele dia farei por eles aliança com as feras do campo, e com as aves do céu, e com os répteis da terra; e da terra quebrarei o arco, e a espada, e a guerra, e os farei deitar em segurança.
當那日,我必為我的百姓,與野地的走獸、天空的飛鳥和地上爬行的動物立約;又要在國中折斷弓和刀,止息戰爭,使他們安然躺臥。
