Context of Ezekiel 23:30
28“For this is what the Lord God says: I am going to hand you over to those you hate, to those you turned away from in disgust. 29They will treat you with hatred, take all you have worked for, and leave you stark naked, so that the shame of your debauchery will be exposed, both your depravity and promiscuity. These things will be done to you because you acted like a prostitute with the nations, defiling yourself with their idols. 31You have followed the path of your sister, so I will put her cup in your hand.” 32This is what the Lord God says: “You will drink your sister’s cup, which is deep and wide. You will be an object of ridicule and scorn, for it holds so much.
