Context of Ezekiel 23:33

31You have lived in the same bad way that your sister lived. So I will punish you as I punished her.” 32This is what the Lord God says: “You will drink from the same cup of punishment that I gave to your sister. It is a cup that holds a lot of punishment. People will laugh at you and they will insult you. You will suffer very much. You will be drunk and very sad. The cup of your punishment will destroy you. Like your sister Samaria, nothing will remain in you. 34You will have to drink all the punishment that is in that cup! Then you will break the cup into pieces. You will cut your breasts to show that you are very upset. I, the Almighty Lord, have said this.” 35This is what the Almighty Lord says: “You have forgotten me. You have not been faithful to me. You have lived as a prostitute and you have done disgusting things. So now you must receive the punishment that you deserve.” ’
