Ezekiel 23:32 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:32

Thus saith the Lord God, thou shall drink of thy sister's cup
deep and large
That is, partake of the same punishment, which was very great, signified by a deep and large cup, which holds much: thou shall be laughed to scorn, and had in derision;
by the nations round about, who, instead of pitying them under their troubles, will rejoice at them; just as drunken men are laughed at, when intoxicated and reeling about: it containeth much;
the cup of wrath and vengeance; as much as will last severity years drinking. The Targum connects this with the preceding clause,

``and thou shalt be for derision and for laughter, because of the greatness of the tribulation that shall come upon thee.''

30 "That is why you will be punished. You longed for lovers in other nations. You polluted yourself by worshiping their gods.

31 You did the same things your sister Oholah did. So I will put her cup in your hand. It is filled with the wine of my anger."

32 The LORD and King says to Oholibah, "You will drink from your sister's cup. It is large and deep. It is filled with the wine of my anger. So others will laugh at you. They will make fun of you.

33 You will become drunk and sad. The cup of my anger will completely destroy you. It is the same cup your sister Samaria drank from.

34 You will drink from it until it is empty. Then you will throw it down and break it in pieces. And you will claw at your breasts. I have spoken," announces the LORD and King.
