Ezekiel 28:20–26

A Prophecy against Sidon

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

Look! I am against you, Sidon, ^t

and I will display My glory within you.

They will know that I am Yahweh

when I execute judgments against her ^u

and demonstrate My holiness through her.

²³I will send a plague against her ^v

and bloodshed in her streets;

the slain will fall within her,

while the sword is against her ^won every side.

Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

²⁴“The house of Israel will no longer be hurt by ^xprickly briers or painful thorns ^yfrom all their neighbors who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.

²⁵“This is what the Lord God says: When I gather the house of Israel ^zfrom the peoples where they are scattered and demonstrate My holiness through them in the sight of the nations, then they will live in their own land, which I gave to My servant Jacob. ²⁶They will live there securely, ^abuild houses, and plant vineyards. ^bThey will live securely when I execute judgments ^cagainst all their neighbors who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.”
