The verse begins with two parallel vav-consecutive verbs, vatibni-lakh {וַתִּבְנִי־לָךְ | wat-tib-nî-lāḵ} “and you built for yourself” and vata‘asi-lakh {וַתַּעֲשִׂי־לָךְ | wat-ta-ʿă-śî-lāḵ} “and you made for yourself,” both second person feminine singular addressing Jerusalem personified.

In context — Ezekiel 16:24

And you built a mound for yourself and made a high place for yourself in every street .
