“Yahweh says.
‘On that day,
You will call me.
‘My husband.’
No longer
Will you call me.
‘My Baal.’
I will remove
The names of the Baals
From her mouth.
They shall be mentioned
By name
No more.’”
Yahweh said the Israelites would no longer call out the name Baal. Actually, this term meant master or lord, a term that was used later in addressing Yahweh, the God of Israel, especially with the Greek κγριος. Yahweh was going to be the husband of Israel. Baal would be removed from the mouths of these Israelites. No longer would his name be mentioned.
