I will do these {things} unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, {and} because thou art polluted with their idols.

Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.

Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

Thou shalt even drink it and suck {it} out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken {it}, saith the Lord GOD.
