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.
