31You have walked in the way of your sister, so I will put her cup into your hand.

32Thus says the Lord GOD: You will drink your sister’s cup, deep and wide; it will be for laughter and for mockery, for it holds much.

33You will be filled with drunkenness and grief, with a cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.

34You will drink it and drain it dry, and you will gnaw its shards, and tear off your breasts; for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.

35Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, you also must bear your lewdness and your prostitutions.
