What did Jerusalem do to displease God?

The Lord said, as I have given the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest as fuel for the fire, so will I treat the people living in Jerusalem.
The word of the Lord came to Ezekiel to confront Jerusalem with her detestable practices.
The Lord said to Jerusalem, as you lay there in your blood I said to you, Live!
Jerusalem trusted in her beauty and used her fame to become a prostitute.
In addition to all her other wickedness, Jerusalem built a mound for herself and made a lofty shrine in every public square.
The Lord will gather all her lovers, with whom she found pleasure, those she loved as well as those she hated. He would gather them against her from all around.
The Lord will deal with those who despised their oath and breaking the covenant as they deserve.
The Lord will remember the covenant He made with Jerusalem in the days of her youth and will establish an everlasting covenant with her.

Identity - God likened Jerusalem as a prostitute to depict her sinfulness. What attributes of God do I see in this? How shall I answer to God’s holiness and purity?
