What is the Nimshal of drinking your sister's cup?

1.

Malbim: You will be exiled, like her.

2)

Why does it say "ha'Amukah veha'Rechavah"?

1.

Malbim: The cup is deep and wide, to contain much liquid. It still has enough bitter water to give also to you to drink.

3)

Why will others laugh and mock?

1.

Radak: The Goyim will laugh and mock due to the great punishments that come upon you.

2.

Malbim: Just like Shomron drank the cup three times ? it had three exiles via Sancheriv ? so Yerushalayim drank it three times. Nebuchadnetzar exiled them three times, like it says in Yeshayah (1:5) "Kol Rosh la'Chali." The first time, others will laugh. The second time, they will mock, which is more than laughing. Laughing is also not in front of the person; mocking is usually in front of him. Refer to 23:32:4:3.

4)

What is "Marbeh Lehakil"?

1.

Rashi: It is too great to be contained, i.e. to be borne.

2.

Radak: The cup was great, to be able to hold much poison.

3.

Malbim: The third time [that Yerushalayim is exiled], the mockery will be too great to be borne, for then it will be totally destroyed.
