Ezekiel 16:25

אֶל־כָּל־רֹ֣אשׁ דֶּ֗רֶךְ בָּנִית֙ רָֽמָתֵ֔ךְ וַתְּתַֽעֲבִי֙ אֶת־יָפְיֵ֔ךְ וַתְּפַשְּׂקִ֥י אֶת־רַגְלַ֖יִךְ לְכָל־עוֹבֵ֑ר וַתַּרְבִּ֖י אֶת־תַּזְנֻתָֽיִךְ׃

At every head of a way you built your high place, and you abhorred your beauty, and you spread your legs to everyone that passed by, and you multiplied your harlotries.
