Ezekiel 23:33

33 It will make you miserable and drunk. It is the cup of fear and ruin. It is the cup of your sister Samaria.

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 did the same things your sister did, so you will get the same punishment, like a bitter cup to drink.
32 "This is what the Lord God says: You will drink the same cup your sister did, and that cup is deep and wide. Everyone will make fun of you, because the cup is full.
33 It will make you miserable and drunk. It is the cup of fear and ruin. It is the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 You will drink everything in it, and then you will smash it and tear at your breasts. I have spoken, says the Lord God.
35 "So this is what the Lord God says: You have forgotten me and turned your back on me. So you will be punished for your sexual sins."
