Ezekiel 23:31

31 You followed in your sister's footsteps, and so I will give you the same cup of punishment to drink."

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 because they hate you, they will take away everything you have worked for and leave you stripped naked, exposed like a prostitute. Your lust and your prostitution

30 have brought this on you. You were a prostitute for the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.

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.
