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 Oholibah surpassed her sister. When she saw figures of Babylonians carved in relief on the walls and painted red

15 fancy belts around their waists, elaborate turbans on their heads, all of them looking important - famous Babylonians! -

16 she went wild with lust and sent invitations to them in Babylon.

17 The Babylonians came on the run, fornicated with her, made her dirty inside and out. When they had thoroughly debased her, she lost interest in them.

18 Then she went public with her fornication. She exhibited her sex to the world.
