Context of Hosea 2:17
15Then I will give her her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will respond there as in the days of her youth, As in the day when she went up from the land of Egypt. 16And it will come about on that day,” declares the Lord, “That you will call Me my husband And no longer call Me my Baal.
