Ezekiel 23:33

33 You will be filled with drunken sadness. A cup of devastation and dismay is the cup of your sister Samaria.

Ezekiel 23:33 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:33

Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow
Sorrow is the effect of drunkenness; these two generally go together; when a man is filled with the one, he is with the other; this expresses the greatness of the sorrow and distress of the Jews in captivity: with the cup of astonishment and desolation;
their punishment would be so great, and their condition be so desolate, that it should astonish them, and bereave them of their senses; and they should be like mad men, as their actions in the following verse show: with the cup of thy sister Samaria;
the same punishment as inflicted on the ten tribes.

Ezekiel 23:33 In-Context

31 You followed in your sister's path, so I have put her cup into your hand.
32 The LORD God proclaims: Deep and wide is your sister's cup. Drink! Appointed for abuse and scorn, it overflows.
33 You will be filled with drunken sadness. A cup of devastation and dismay is the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 Drink it, drain it dry, break it into pieces, and tear off your breasts, for I have spoken. This is what the LORD God says.
35 So now the LORD God proclaims: Because you forgot me and turned your back on me, you alone will bear the consequences of your betrayal and promiscuities.
