Ezekiel 23:31 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:31

Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister
Samaria, or the ten tribes of Israel; followed them in their idolatrous practices, were guilty of the same: therefore will I give her cup into thine hand;
the cup of her vengeance, as the Targum; inflict the same punishment on the two tribes as on the ten, and suffer them to be carried captive as they had been.
