Ezekiel 23:33

33 It will make you miserable and drunk, that cup of fear and ruin, your sister Samaria's cup.

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 footsteps, and so I will give you the same cup of punishment to drink."

32 The Sovereign Lord says, "You will drink from your sister's cup; it is large and deep. Everyone will scorn and mock you; the cup is full.

33 It will make you miserable and drunk, that cup of fear and ruin, your sister Samaria's cup.

34 You will drink and drain it dry, and with its broken pieces tear your breast. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken."

35 Now this is what the Sovereign Lord is saying: "Because you forgot me and turned your back on me, you will suffer for your lust and your prostitution."
