Hosea 2:17-19
New Catholic Bible
17 From there I will restore her vineyards to her
and make the Valley of Achor[a] a gateway of hope.
There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth,
when she came up from the land of Egypt.
18 On that day, says the Lord,
she will call me “My husband,”
and never again call me “My Baal.”
19 I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth;
never again shall their names be invoked.
Footnotes
- Hosea 2:17 Valley of Achor: this served as a passageway from the area of Jericho to the plateaus of the interior. The Israelites took possession of it when they conquered Canaan: the name means “Valley of Misfortune” (see the sad end of Achan in Jos 7:24-26).
