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.

Ezekiel 23:16 In-Context

14 but she was even more promiscuous. She saw men carved in wall reliefs, images of Chaldeans outlined in vermilion

15 wearing only loincloths around their hips and flowing headbands on their heads. All of them had the appearance of warriors of the third rank, the likeness of Babylonians whose native land is Chaldea.

16 Aroused just by looking at them, she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

17 The Babylonians came to her to lie down and make love with her, defiling her with their seductions. But once she had defiled herself with them, she recoiled from them in disgust.

18 When her seductions became known and her nakedness exposed, I recoiled from her just as I had recoiled from her sister.
