Ezekiel

Ezekiel 23:31–34

³¹Because you have followed the path of your sister, I will put her cup into your hand.’

³²This is what the Lord GOD says:

‘You will drink your sister’s cup,

a cup deep and wide.

It will bring scorn and derision,

for it holds so much.

³³You will be filled with drunkenness and grief,

with a cup of devastation and desolation,

the cup of your sister Samaria.

³⁴You will drink it and drain it;

you will dash it to pieces,

and tear your breasts.

For I have spoken,’

declares the Lord GOD.
