The Pulpit Commentary on Ezekiel 23:31-33

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

I will give her cup into thine hand. (For the image of the cup as the symbol of good or evil fortune, see Psalms 23:5; Isaiah 51:17; Jeremiah 25:15; Matthew 20:22; Matthew 26:39.) The cup, in this case, was to be deep and large as that of Samaria.

The adulteress was to be "drunk, but not with wine" (Isaiah 29:9). And that "cup," over and above the laughter and derision, would contain much of unknown calamities, the astonishment and desolation of Ezekiel 23:33.
