Ezekiel 23:12-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
12She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and officials, the ones near, opulently dressed, horsemen riding on horses, all of them handsome young men. 13And I saw that she had defiled herself; they both took the same way. 14So she increased her obscene practices. And she saw men carved on the wall, images of the Chaldeans drawn in bright red, 15wearing belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, like the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth. 16And when she saw them she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.King James Version
Chapter 23
12She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 13Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way, 14And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion, 15Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity: 16And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 23
12She lusted after the Assyrians: governors and prefects, warriors splendidly dressed, horsemen riding on steeds, all of them desirable young men. 13And I saw that she had defiled herself; both of them had taken the same path. 14But she increased her promiscuity when she saw male figures carved on the wall, images of the Chaldeans, engraved in bright red, 15wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like officers, a depiction of the Babylonians in Chaldea, their native land. 16At the sight of them she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.New Living Translation
Chapter 23
12She fawned over all the Assyrian officers β those captains and commanders in handsome uniforms, those charioteers driving their horses β all of them attractive young men. 13I saw the way she was going, defiling herself just like her older sister.
14Then she carried her prostitution even further. She fell in love with pictures that were painted on a wall β pictures of Babylonian military officers, outfitted in striking red uniforms.
15Handsome belts encircled their waists, and flowing turbans crowned their heads. They were dressed like chariot officers from the land of Babylonia.
16When she saw these paintings, she longed to give herself to them, so she sent messengers to Babylonia to invite them to come to her.

Chapter 23
12She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriors clothed in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men. 13And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way. 14But she carried her whoring further. She saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion, 15wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them having the appearance of officers, a likeness of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea. 16When she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.New International Version
Chapter 23
12She too lusted after the Assyrians--governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men. 13I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way.
14But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans portrayed in red,
15with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea.
16As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
