Hosea 2:14-17
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Therefore behold, I will [a]allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak friendly unto her.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley [b]of Achor for the door of hope, and she shall [c]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 at that day, saith the Lord, thou shalt call me [d]Ishi, and shalt call me no more [e]Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baal out of her mouth, and they shall be no more remembered by their [f]names.
