Ezekiel 23:16 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:16

And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon
them
As lustful women, on the sight of the pictures of men, fall in love with them, and are mad after them; such a vehement desire after the idols of the Chaldeans prevailed, upon seeing their images: and sent messengers unto them in Chaldea;
to make alliances with the Chaldeans, and to have their idols, and worship them.
