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 and that she increased her whoredoms, for when she saw men painted upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans painted in colour,

15 girded with girdles upon their loins, and mitres painted upon their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the manner of the men of Babylon, born in the land of the Chaldeans,

16 she fell in love with them as soon as she saw them with her eyes and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom and she was polluted with them, and her soul was disjointed from them.

18 So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness; then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.
