Ezekiel 28:20–26

A PROPHECY AGAINST SIDON

²⁰The word of the Lord came to me: ²¹“Son of man, face Sidon^k and prophesy against it. ²²You are to say, ‘This is what the Lord God says:

Look! I am against you, Sidon,^l

and I will display my glory within you.

They will know that I am the Lord

when I execute judgments against her^m

and demonstrate my holiness through her.

²³I will send a plague against herⁿ

and bloodshed in her streets;

the slain will fall within her,

while the sword is against her^D on every side.

Then they will know that I am the Lord.

²⁴“ ‘The house of Israel will no longer be hurt by^E prickly briers or painful thorns^o from all their neighbors who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.

²⁵“ ‘This is what the Lord God says: When I gather the house of Israel^p from the peoples where they are scattered, I will demonstrate my holiness through them in the sight of the nations, and they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. ²⁶They will live there securely,^q build houses, and plant vineyards.^r They will live securely when I execute judgments^s against all their neighbors who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.’ ”
