Ezekiel 23:31-33
New English Translation

The cup of your sister Samaria is a cup of horror and desolation.

Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 23:31 tn Heb “her cup.” A cup of intoxicating strong drink is used, here and elsewhere, as a metaphor for judgment because both leave one confused and reeling. (See Jer 25:15, 17, 28; Hab 2:16.) The cup of wrath is a theme also found in the NT (Mark 14:36).

  3. Ezekiel 23:33 tn Heb “filled with.”
