Context of Hosea 2:15

13I will punish her for all those times when she burned incense to her images of Baal, when she put on her earrings and jewels and went out to look for her lovers but forgot all about me,” says the Lord. 14“But then I will win her back once again. I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her there. I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope. She will give herself to me there, as she did long ago when she was young, when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt. 16When that day comes,” says the Lord, “you will call me ‘my husband’ instead of ‘my master.’ 17O Israel, I will wipe the many names of Baal from your lips, and you will never mention them again.
