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 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.

34 You will drink it, you will drain it, and then you will gnaw it to shreds and tear out your own breasts! For I have spoken it' says Adonai ELOHIM.

35 "Therefore this is what Adonai ELOHIM says: 'Because you forgot me and flung me behind your back, you will bear the guilt of your lewdness and whoring.'"
