²⁰And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,^c ²¹“Son of man,^d set your face toward Sidon and prophesy against it, ²²and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh:

“Look! I am against you, Sidon,

and I display my glory in the midst of you,

and they will know that I am Yahweh

when I execute my judgments,^e

and I will show myself holy within it.

²³And I will send into it a plague,

and blood will be in its streets.

And the dead will fall in the midst of her

by the sword that is against it from all around;

and they will know that I am Yahweh.

²⁴And there will not be any longer^f a painful thorn and a sharp thornbush for^g the house of Israel from anywhere around them^h from those who are despising them,ⁱ and they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.” ’ ”

²⁵Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples to which they were scattered about in them, and I show myself holy in^j them before the eyes of the nations, then they will live on their soil, which I gave to my servant Jacob. ²⁶And they will live on it in safety, and they will build houses, and they will plant vineyards, and they will live in safety when I execute my judgments on all those who despise them from all around them,^k and then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.”
