New English Translation

She saw men carved on the wall, images of the Chaldeans carved in bright red,[a] 15 wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, the image of Babylonians[b] whose native land is Chaldea. 16 When she saw them,[c] she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.[d]
