Ezekiel 23:33

33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of mourning and of heaviness, with the cup of thy 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 Thou wentest in the way of thy sister, and I shall give the cup of her in(to) thine hand.

32 The Lord God saith these things, Thou shalt drink the cup of thy sister, the depth, and the broadness; thou that art most able to take, shalt be into scorning, and into mocking (thou shalt be into scorning, and into mocking, more than the cup can hold).

33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of mourning and of heaviness, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

34 And thou shalt drink it, and thou shalt drink of (it) till to the dregs, (or unto the lees,) and thou shalt devour the remnants thereof (and thou shalt devour its remnants), and thou shalt rend thy breasts, for I the Lord spake, saith the Lord God.

35 Therefore the Lord God saith these things, For thou hast forgotten me, and hast cast forth me behind thy body (and hast thrown me away behind thy back), bear thou also thy great trespass and thy fornications.
