Ezekiel 16:32

Jerusalem’s Unfaithfulness

31But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.32You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!33Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.
