the land is full of adulterers
Everyone in the land is an adulterer, which in turn is an exaggeration for very many people being adulterers. This word has the literal meaning that the men in the nation had committed adultery against their own wives, and it also has the figurative meaning that they had abandoned Yahweh in order to worship idols.
