16Therefore, behold, I will cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.

17And I will give her her possessions from thence, and the Valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

— Hosea 2:18 —

19And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all.

20And I will make for them in that day a covenant with the wild beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the reptiles of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle from off the earth, and will cause thee to dwell safely.
