SCRIPTURE

"How trimmest thou thy way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women hast thou taught thy ways. Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: thou didst not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things." — Jeremiah 2:33-34 (ASV)

God's ancient people had so completely turned away from him, and wandered so far from him, that they had practiced all manner of evil in order to prove their love for other gods. They even went among the nations, and taught them to sin even worse than they had sinned before. This was most shameful backsliding, a horrible evil in the sight of God.
