Drunkenness here is not literal but represents a state of confusion and loss of control, often used in prophetic literature to describe divine judgment (<a href="/isaiah/51-17.htm">Isaiah 51:17</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/25-15.htm">Jeremiah 25:15-16</a>). Grief accompanies this state, indicating the sorrow and suffering that result from turning away from God. The imagery of drunkenness is also a metaphor for the spiritual unfaithfulness and idolatry that led to such judgment.<p><b>with a cup of devastation and desolation</b><br>The "cup" is a common biblical metaphor for God's wrath and judgment (<a href="/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8</a>, <a href="/revelation/14-10.htm">Revelation 14:10</a>). Devastation and desolation describe the complete ruin and emptiness that will follow. This reflects the severe consequences of Israel's and Judah's idolatry and alliances with pagan nations. The cup signifies the inescapable nature of divine retribution, as seen in the prophetic warnings throughout the Old Testament.<p><b>the cup of your sister Samaria</b><br>Samaria, the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, had already experienced God's judgment through conquest and exile by the Assyrians in 722 BC. This reference serves as a historical reminder and warning to Judah, the Southern Kingdom, that they are following the same path of unfaithfulness and will face similar consequences. The use of "sister" highlights the shared heritage and covenant relationship with God, emphasizing the betrayal and parallel fates of both kingdoms. This connection underscores the theme of accountability and the certainty of divine justice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the exiles in Babylon.
