Verses 30-31

This punishment would come on her because she committed political adultery with the nations and had defiled herself with their idolatry (cf. Exodus 20:1-7; Deuteronomy 17:14-20). She had behaved as her older sister, so the Lord would give the cup of His wrath to her to drink (cf. Isaiah 51:17; Isaiah 51:22; Jeremiah 25:15-17; Jeremiah 25:28; Habakkuk 2:16; Zechariah 12:2; Matthew 20:22; Matthew 26:39; Revelation 14:10), the same cup Oholah had to drink.

"In using this imagery Ezekiel belongs to a long prophetic chain that was to culminate in Jesus, who absorbed in his own person the horror of God’s judgment, accepting it from his hand not without a shudder (Mark 14:36)." [Note: Allen, Ezekiel 20-48, p. 52.]
