She defiled

Where have you not been violated?
By the roads you have sat for them
Like an Arab in the desert,
And you have polluted a land
With your harlotry and with your wickedness.

To eat its fruit and its good things.
But you came and defiled My land,
And My inheritance you made an abomination.

Committed

Jeremiah 2:27
Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’

And not their face;
But in the time of their trouble they will say,
‘Arise and save us.’

In their discipline of delusion—their idol is wood!

For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray,
And they have played the harlot, departing from their God.

To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’
