15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
    and I will make the Valley of Trouble a door of hope.
There she will respond as when she was young,
    as when she came out of Egypt.”

16 The Lord says, “In the future she will call me ‘my husband’;
    no longer will she call me ‘my baal.’[a]
17 I will never let her say the names of Baal again;
    people won’t use their names anymore.
