Exegesis
The Qal perfect banit {בָּנִית֙ | bā-nîṯ} ‘you built’ directly addresses Jerusalem personified, continued by the pronominal suffix in ramatek {רָֽמָתֵ֔ךְ | rā-māṯêḵ} ‘your high place’.
In context — Ezekiel 16:25
At every head of the way you built your high place, and you caused your beauty to be abhorred, and you spread your feet to every passerby, and you multiplied your harlotries .
