Hosea 2:16

And it will come to pass in that day,
declares (says, proclaims) the Lord (Yahweh),
that you shall call me "my husband"
and no longer call me "my Baal."
[The Hebrew word baal can mean husband, master, or refer to the Canaanite god Baal. In this play on words, Israel has replaced her husband, the Lord, with another Baal – Lord.]
