וְהָיָה֙ מִקֹּ֣ל זְנוּתָ֔הּ וַתֶּחֱנַ֖ף אֶת־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַתִּנְאַ֥ף אֶת־הָאֶ֖בֶן וְאֶת־הָעֵֽץ׃
vhayah miqol znvtah vateḥenaf ʾet-haʾareṣ vatinʾaf ʾet-haʾeben vʾet-haʿeṣ
King James Version (KJV)

And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. {lightness: or, fame}

Modern English

Because she took her prostitution lightly, the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with wood.
