Ezekiel 22:10-11

10, 11. This people, called to be a witness of Jehovah’s purity to all the earth, was going into the lowest depths of lust. There is no reason to doubt that this is a true picture of the corruption of this period. (See Jeremiah 5:7; Amos 2:6-8; Hosea 7:7, etc.) Yet the fact that the prophet could use the marriage covenant as he did, to figure the relation of Jerusalem to Jehovah, shows how much purer was the sentiment of the Jewish people even in their worst days than that of the nations surrounding them. (See Romans 1:28.) These commonest sins of the heathen were always against the Hebrew law (Leviticus 21:9; Leviticus 21:15; Leviticus 20:10; Leviticus 20:12; Leviticus 20:17).
