Context of Ezekiel 23:32

30These things will be done to you, for you have gone as a harlot after the nations, so you are defiled with their idols. 31You have walked in the way of your sister, so I will give her cup into your hand.” Thus 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. 34You will drink it and drain it, gnaw its shards and tear your breasts. For I have spoken.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
