Hosea 2:14-17
Revised Standard Version
14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.
15 And there I will give her her vineyards,
and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth,
as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
16 “And in that day, says the Lord, you will call me, ‘My husband,’ and no longer will you call me, ‘My Ba′al.’ 17 For I will remove the names of the Ba′als from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.

Hosea 2:14-17
American Standard Version
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak [a]comfortably unto her. 15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of [b]Achor for a door of hope; and she shall [c]make answer 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 Jehovah, that thou shalt call me [d]Ishi, and shalt call me no more [e]Baali. 17 For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be [f]mentioned by their name.
