Isaiah 57:7-10
You have committed adultery on every high mountain. There you have worshiped idols and have been unfaithful to me.You have put pagan symbols on your doorposts and behind your doors. You have left me and climbed into bed with these detestable gods. You have committed yourselves to them. You love to look at their naked bodies.You have gone to Molech with olive oil and many perfumes, sending your agents far and wide, even to the world of the dead.You grew weary in your search, but you never gave up. Desire gave you renewed strength, and you did not grow weary.

Hosea 2:5-7
Their mother is a shameless prostitute and became pregnant in a shameful way. She said,‘ I’ll run after other lovers and sell myself to them for food and water, for clothing of wool and linen, and for olive oil and drinks.’“ For this reason I will fence her in with thornbushes. I will block her path with a wall to make her lose her way.When she runs after her lovers, she won’t be able to catch them. She will search for them but not find them. Then she will think,‘ I might as well return to my husband, for I was better off with him than I am now.’

Is there any place you have not been defiled by your adultery with other gods? You sit like a prostitute beside the road waiting for a customer. You sit alone like a nomad in the desert. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and your wickedness.
