It will be in that day,” says the LORD, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 16. My husband. In Hebrew Ishi.—Baali: my lord. The meaning of this verse is: that, whereas, Ishi and Baali were used indifferently in those days by wives speaking to their husbands, the synagogue, whom God was pleased to consider as his spouse, should call him only Ishi, and abstain from the name of Baali, because of his affinity with the name of the idol Baal. Challoner.—The very name shall become obsolete. Bible.
