Hosea2:16
16 And it shall be at that day saith the LORD that thou shalt call me Ishi , and shalt call me no more Baali :
When through deep distresses I have prepared her to return, and she who was an Adulteress repents, and renews her Covenant of Love and Obedience, and in the day of my Blessings on her.
This confirmeth, and ensureth the thing.
My repenting Israel,
Both by Words, Affections, and Obedience shall own me as thy loving, tender Husband, and delight to call me so.
Though the word hath no ill in it self, yet 'tis so near to the name of the abominable Idols that I will no more be called Baali.
