2 Chronicles 21:11 (a) The word is used to describe the wickedness of a people who forsake the true GOD, and the blessings which He gives in order to follow the attractions of the ungodly world, and of false gods. (See also Isaiah 23:17; Ezekiel 16:15, Ezekiel 16:29; Judges 1:7; Revelation 2:21).

Revelation 17:2-4 (a) GOD thus describes the wickedness of that which claims to be the Church of GOD as it supports and invites wicked men of the world to join with them, and to partake of their religious exercises. (See Revelation 18:3; Revelation 19:2).
