Ezekiel 23:15-17
Living Bible
14-15 “She was in fact more debased than Samaria, for she fell in love with pictures she saw painted on a wall! They were pictures of Babylonian military officers, outfitted in striking red uniforms, with handsome belts, and flowing turbans on their heads. 16 When she saw these paintings, she longed to give herself to the men pictured, so she sent messengers to Chaldea[a] to invite them to come to her. 17 And they came and committed adultery with her, defiling her in the bed of love, but afterward she hated them and broke off all relations with them.[b]
