Commentary for Jeremiah 3:9

וְהָיָה֙ מִקֹּ֣ל זְנוּתָ֔הּ וַתֶּחֱנַ֖ף אֶת־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַתִּנְאַ֥ף אֶת־הָאֶ֖בֶן וְאֶת־הָעֵֽץ׃

and it came to pass through the lightness of her harlotry, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks;

Rashi on Jeremiah

and she committed adultery with the stones Jonathan paraphrases: And she strayed with the worshippers of stones and wood. And Jonathan renders מִקֹל as an expression of lightness, since her idols were light in her eyes.
