Ezekiel 23:31

31 You walked down your sister's path, so I will put her cup in your hand.'

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 and they will deal with you in hatred, seize everything you have worked for, and leave you naked and exposed - the full shame of your whoring will be exposed, your lewdness and your fornicating.
30 These things will be done to you because you have gone fornicating with the Goyim, and because you are defiled with their idols.
31 You walked down your sister's path, so I will put her cup in your hand.'
32 Adonai ELOHIM says: 'You will drink from your sister's cup, a cup both deep and wide, full right up to the brim with scorn and derision,
33 filling you with drunkenness and sorrow, a cup of horror and devastation the cup of your sister Shomron.
