Ezekiel23:14

14 And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtray'd with vermilion ,

Added to the number of her Idolatries.

Where ever 'twas, the Jews saw there 'twas they doted on their persons and habits; it is probable enough they might see them in the Idol Temples, or in the House of the King of Iudah, or of the great men, who promoted the friendships, and Leagues with these Nations.

The counterfeits of Strangers, and such as were far off, as the Chaldaeans were.

Which as 'tis a very glossy and shining colour, so duly mixt with Ceruse, doth lively express the colour of mans flesh.
