Hosea 2:15-17
Easy-to-Read Version
15 There I will give her vineyards. I will give her Achor Valley as a doorway of hope. Then she will answer as she did when she came out of the land of Egypt.” 16 This is what the Lord says.
“At that time you will call me ‘My husband.’ You will not call me ‘My Baal.’[a] 17 I will take the names of those false gods out of her mouth. Then people will not use those names again.

King James Version
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
