Ezekiel 28:20–26

Prophecy Against Sidon

²⁰The word of the Lord came to me: ^21s“Son of man, ^tset your face toward ^uSidon, and ^tprophesy against her ²²and say, Thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, ^vI am against you, O Sidon,

and ^wI will manifest my glory in your midst.

And ^xthey shall know that I am the Lord

^ywhen I execute judgments in her

and ^zmanifest my holiness in her;

²³for I will send ^apestilence into her,

and blood into her streets;

and the slain shall fall in her midst,

by the sword that is against her on every side.

Then they will know that I am the Lord.

²⁴“And for the house of Israel ^bthere shall be no more a brier to prick or ^ca thorn to hurt them among all their neighbors ^dwho have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.

Israel Gathered in Security

²⁵“Thus says the Lord God: ^eWhen I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and ^zmanifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, ^fthen they shall dwell in their own land that I gave to my servant Jacob. ^26gAnd they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall dwell securely, ^hwhen I execute judgments upon all their neighbors ^dwho have treated them with contempt. ^xThen they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
