Yahweh speaks of Jerusalem as if the city were an unfaithful wife who sleeps with other men in exchange for payment. God compared Judah to an adulteress because she worshiped idols instead of God who had done so much to help her. Adultery is a common image used to describe the worship of idols by Israel.
