Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(my lord). My idol! A repudiated word of endearment (Hos. 2:16).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
Israel had attributed to Baalim the blessings Jehovah had given them: Jehovah said He would strip them of those mercies to show them their folly. In the last days a remnant will be brought into the wilderness, and be spoken comfortably to. Self judgment will be the door of hope —(Valley of Achor). God will no longer be called “my Master,” as the word Baali signifies, but “Husband,” and He will take away the names of their idolatrous masters, Baalim, and they shall no more be remembered (Hos. 2:16: Compare Hos. 2:8,13,17).
