Hosea 2:16 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

At that day; 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. Saith the Lord: this confirmeth and insureth the thing. Thou, my repenting Israel, shalt call me Ishi; both by words, affections, and obedience shall own me as thy loving, tender Husband, and delight to call me so. And shalt call me no more Baali; though the word hath no ill in itself, yet it is so near to the name of the abominable idols, that I will no more be called Baali.

Hosea 2:16

16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi;i and shalt call me no more Baali.
