Thus saith the Lord God, thou shall drink of thy sister’s cup deep and large, &c.] That is, partake of the same punishment, which was very great, signified by a deep and large cup, which holds much: thou shall be laughed to scorn, and had in derision; by the nations round about, who, instead of pitying them under their troubles, will rejoice at them; just as drunken men are laughed at, when intoxicated and reeling about: it containeth much; the cup of wrath and vengeance; as much as will last severity years drinking. The Targum connects this with the preceding clause, “and thou shalt be for derision and for laughter, because of the greatness of the tribulation that shall come upon thee.”
