Context of Ezekiel 23:31
29They will treat you with hatred, take all your property and leave you naked and exposed. The vulgarity of your prostitutions will be uncovered—your debauchery and your promiscuity. 30These things will be done to you, for you have gone as a harlot after the nations, so you are defiled with their idols. You have walked in the way of your sister, so I will give her cup into your hand.” 32Thus says Adonai Elohim: “You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and wide. You will be for laughter and ridicule. It holds so much! 33You will be filled with drunkenness and agony, a cup of horror and desolation—the cup of your sister Samaria.
