And I will make a covenant for them in that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will break bow and sword and battle out of the land; and I will make them to lie down safely.
Hosea 2:16 And it shall be in that day, saith Jehovah, [that] thou shalt call me, My husband, and shalt call me no more, Baali;
Hosea 2:17 for I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Hosea 2:18 And I will make a covenant for them in that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will break bow and sword and battle out of the land; and I will make them to lie down safely.
Hosea 2:19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; and I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies;
Hosea 2:20 and I will betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know Jehovah.
The verse centers on "make", "covenant", "beasts", "field", "fowl", "heavens", "creeping", and "things". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "make" and "covenant", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 17's "for I will take away the names..." into verse 19's "And I will betroth thee unto me...", so "make" and "covenant" belong inside that flow. In Hosea context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "make" and "covenant" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
