In context

14And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil,

15having variegated girdles on their loins, having also richly dyed attire upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land.

— Ezekiel 23:16 —

17And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.

18And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame: and my soul was alienated from her, even as my soul was alienated from her sister.
