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.

Ezekiel 23:31 In-Context

29 They will deal hatefully with you: They will seize your pay and leave you completely naked. Your promiscuity, betrayal, and seductions will be exposed.

30 This will be done to you because you sold yourself to the nations and became defiled by their idols.

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.
