You have gone the way of your sister means Oholibah did the same sinful things as her sister Oholah did. Most cultures are likely to have their own idiomatic way of expressing this idea; for example, Good News Translation says “You followed in your sister’s footsteps.”

Therefore I will give her cup into your hand: Because Oholibah sinned in the same way as her sister, she will get the same punishment. In the Old Testament cup is often used as an image of judgment. The contents stand for God’s punishment. Often it is necessary in translation to make explicit this picture of judgment in some way; for example, Good News Translation says “cup of punishment,” and Contemporary English Version has “cup filled with my anger.” One way to render this whole clause is “so I will give you the same cup of punishment I gave her.” It is also acceptable to abandon the picture of the cup; for example, New Living Translation (1996) has “I will punish you with the same terrors that destroyed her.” This imagery may also be dropped in the next three verses (see the model for verses 32-34 at the end of the discussion on verse 34).
