In the Bible, the word “prostitute” is also used to talk about a person who worships false gods or who does evil things. The prophets told the kingdoms Israel and Judah that they acted like a prostitute when they did not honor their covenant with Yahweh. Israel and Judah also acted like a prostitute when they worshiped false gods (see: Ezekiel 16; Hosea 3:1-5; 4:10-13).
