Context of Ezekiel 23:31
29They will deal with you in hatred, take all your property, and leave you naked and bare. And the nakedness of your depravity will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your obscene practices. 30These things will be done to you because you have prostituted yourself with the [Gentile] nations, because you have defiled yourself with their idols. You have walked in the way of your sister (Samaria); therefore I will give her cup [of judgment] into your hand.’ 32Thus says the Lord God, ‘You will drink your sister’s cup, Which is deep and wide [and filled to the brim]. You shall be laughed at and derided; It contains much [too much to endure]. 33You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, With the cup of horror and desolation, With the cup of your sister Samaria.
