Jeremiah 3:9

9 Because she took her prostitution so lightly, she defiled the land ^{▼▼ The translation reads the form as a causative (Hiphil, תַּהֲנֵף, tahanef) with some of the versions in place of the simple stative (Qal, תֶּחֱנַף, tekhenaf) in the MT.} through her adulterous worship of gods made of wood and stone. ^{▼▼ Heb “because of the lightness of her prostitution, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stone and wood.”}
