Ezekiel 23:15

The Two Adulterous Sisters

14But Oholibah carried her prostitution even further. She saw the men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans, engraved in vermilion, 15wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like officers of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.16At the sight of them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
