Listen to Osea 2:17
17 Ed io torrò via dalla sua bocca i Baali, e quelli non saranno più ricordati per li nomi loro.

Osea 2:17 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 2:17

For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth,
&c.] Out of the mouth of Israel, as Saadiah; out of the mouth of the converted Jews, and even out of the mouth of the Gentiles, as Kimchi owns; the several Baals, as Baalpeor, Baalberith, and Baalzebub, and others: the names of them should be no more used, should not be spoken of, unless with detestation and abhorrence; not with honour and respect, with love and affection, or so as to yield worship and homage to them; or otherwise their names may be lawfully mentioned, as in ( Romans 11:4 ) , there seems to be some reference to the law in ( Exodus 23:13 ) , the sense is, that idolatry shall be utterly abolished, even of every kind; not the worship of Baalim only, but of all other idols: and so the Targum is,

``and I will take away the name of the idols of the people out of their mouth;''
and may design the idolatry of the church of Rome; their worship of images of gold and silver, wood, brass, and stone in whose communion are many of the Jews at this time; but when the time of their conversion comes, all this will be abolished among them, and among the Gentiles also: and they shall no more be remembered by their name;
or made mention of by name; the same thing as before, in other words, repeated for the confirmation of it.

Osea 2:17 In-Context

15 e le darò le sue vigne, da quel luogo; e la valle di Acor, per entrata di speranza; ed ella canterà quivi, come ai dì della sua fanciullezza, e come quando salì fuor del paese di Egitto.
16 E in quel giorno avverrà, dice il Signore, che tu mi chiamerai: Marito mio; e non mi chiamerai più: Baal mio.
17 Ed io torrò via dalla sua bocca i Baali, e quelli non saranno più ricordati per li nomi loro.
18 E in quel tempo farò che avran patto con le fiere della campagna, e con gli uccelli del cielo, e co’ rettili della terra; e romperò archi, e spade, e strumenti di guerra, e farò che verranno meno nel paese; e li farò giacere in sicurtà.
19 Ed io ti sposerò in eterno; e ti sposerò in giustizia, e in giudicio, e in benignità, e in compassioni.
