{{dod-september}}
The idolatry of [[Jerusalem]] is seen in chapter 16. The allegory here is that of the faithless wife. She had turned away from [[God]] and committed adultery with other [[God]]s. This is a very graphic and vivid portrayal of [[Israel]]'s idolatry. [[Israel]] is pictured here as a bride who had a beloved husband who made her a queen and lavished many precious gifts upon her. She then made herself a prostitute to every man that passed by, shaming even Sodom and Samaria.
