Ezekiel 23 — Context

28

For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will give you up into the hands of those who are hated by you, into the hands of those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust:

29

And they will take you in hand with hate, and take away all the fruit of your work, and let you be unveiled and without clothing: and the shame of your loose behaviour will be uncovered, your evil designs and your loose ways.

30

They will do these things to you because you have been untrue to me, and have gone after the nations, and have become unclean with their images.

31

You have gone in the way of your sister; and I will give her cup into your hand.

32

This is what the Lord has said: You will take a drink from your sister's cup, which is deep and wide: you will be laughed at and looked down on, more than you are able to undergo.

33

You will be broken and full of sorrow, with the cup of wonder and destruction, with the cup of your sister Samaria.

34

And after drinking it and draining it out, you will take the last drops of it to the end, pulling off your breasts: for I have said it, says the Lord.
