New Covenant Relationship with Repentant Israel

2:18 “At that time61 I will make a covenant for them with the wild animals,

the birds of the air, and the creatures that crawl on the ground.

I will abolish62 the warrior’s bow and sword

—that is, every weapon of warfare63—from the land,

and I will allow them to live securely.”64

2:19 I will commit myself to you65 forever;

I will commit myself to you in66 righteousness and justice,

in steadfast love and tender compassion.

2:20 I will commit myself to you in faithfulness;

then67 you will acknowledge68 the Lord.”69
