You will drink your sister's cup

your sister's cup that is
Here the "cup" represents what is in the cup. AT: "from your sister's cup that is" or "all that is in your sister's cup, and her cup is" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
a laughingstock ... a subject for derision

this cup contains a great amount
This sentence does not say what is in the cup because it is understood by reading Ezekiel 23:31. AT: "this cup contains a great amount of punishment" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)
