Prostitution

Prostitution is the compromise of one's integrity, especially in return for something non essential or irrelevant to one's identity.

So to think and see different just for the sake of pleasing the boss or for gain is as much a prostitution as one who sells her body for money.

Esau selling his birth right for a bowl of pea soup is another example.

And Israel was a prostitute too when she compromised her identity, which was essentially derived from a relationship with God, by exploiting worldly relationships instead, such as seeking a king and forming allies.
