Ezekiel 23
1. The unfaithfulness of Aholah and Aholibah
23. Aholibah is to be plagued by her lovers
36. The prophet reproves the adulteries of them both
45. and shows their judgments














You will be filled
The phrase "You will be filled" suggests a complete and overwhelming experience. In the Hebrew context, the word used here can imply being saturated or fully consumed. This indicates that the judgment coming upon the people is not partial but total. It reflects the idea that the consequences of their actions will be inescapable and all-encompassing, much like the way sin can consume one's life if left unchecked.

with drunkenness and grief
Drunkenness in the Bible often symbolizes a loss of control and a state of moral and spiritual stupor. It is a metaphor for the chaos and confusion that results from turning away from God. Grief, on the other hand, speaks to the deep sorrow and regret that follows sin. Together, these terms paint a picture of the emotional and spiritual turmoil that comes from living outside of God's will. Historically, this reflects the state of Israel and Judah as they faced the consequences of their idolatry and unfaithfulness.

with a cup of devastation and desolation
The "cup" is a powerful biblical symbol often associated with God's judgment. In ancient times, a cup could represent one's fate or destiny. Here, "devastation and desolation" describe the severe and destructive nature of the judgment. Devastation implies ruin and destruction, while desolation suggests emptiness and abandonment. This imagery would resonate with the Israelites, who understood the gravity of drinking from such a cup, as it meant experiencing the full measure of God's wrath due to their persistent rebellion.

the cup of your sister Samaria
Samaria, the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, had already experienced God's judgment due to its idolatry and alliances with pagan nations. By referencing "the cup of your sister Samaria," Ezekiel is drawing a parallel between the fate of Samaria and the impending judgment on Judah. This serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning away from God. Historically, Samaria's fall to the Assyrians in 722 BC was a well-known event, and its mention here underscores the certainty and severity of the judgment awaiting Judah if they do not repent.
