Ezekiel 23:14-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

14. She went further in her prostitution: She saw male figures drawn on the wall, images of Chaldeans drawn with vermilion,

15. with sashes tied about their waists, flowing turbans on their heads, all looking like chariot warriors, images of Babylonians, natives of Chaldea.

16. As soon as she set eyes on them she lusted for them, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

17. The Babylonians came to her, to her love couch; they defiled her with their impurities. But as soon as they had defiled her, she recoiled from them.

18. When her prostitution was discovered and her shame revealed, I recoiled from her as I had recoiled from her sister.

19. But she increased her prostitution, recalling the days of her youth when she had served as a prostitute in the land of Egypt.
