'Played the Harlot' in the Bible

“For their mother has played the harlot;She who conceived them has acted shamefully.For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,Who give me my bread and my water,My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

My people consult their wooden idol, and their diviner’s wand informs them;For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray,And they have played the harlot, departing from their God.

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me;For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot,Israel has defiled itself.

Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations!For you have played the harlot, forsaking your God.You have loved harlots’ earnings on every threshing floor.
