Ezekiel 23 — Context

28

“For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look here, I am about to deliver you over to those whom you hate, to those with whom you were disgusted.

29

They will treat you with hatred, take away all you have labored for, and leave you naked and bare. Your nakedness will be exposed, just as when you engaged in prostitution and obscene conduct.

30

I will do these things to you because you engaged in prostitution with the nations, polluting yourself with their idols.

31

You have followed the ways of your sister, so I will place her cup of judgment in your hand.

32

“This is what the Sovereign LORD says:“You will drink your sister’s deep and wide cup; you will be scorned and derided, for it holds a great deal.

33

You will be overcome by drunkenness and sorrow. The cup of your sister Samaria is a cup of horror and desolation.

34

You will drain it dry, gnaw its pieces, and tear out your breasts, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.
