Read in context

Hosea 2:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,” declares the LORD.

14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.

15 There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

16 In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’

17 For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.
