Ezekiel 28:20–26

Judgment of Sidon

²⁰And the word of the Lord came to me saying,

²¹“Son of man, ^aset your face toward ^bSidon, prophesy against her

²²and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God,

“Behold, I am against you, O Sidon,

And I will ¹be glorified in your midst.

Then they will know that I am the Lord when I ^aexecute judgments in her,

And I will manifest My holiness in her.

²³“For ^aI will send pestilence to her

And blood to her streets,

And the ^bwounded will ¹fall in her midst

By the sword upon her on every side;

Then they will know that I am the Lord.

²⁴“And there will be no more for the house of Israel a ^aprickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am the Lord God.”

Israel Regathered

²⁵‘Thus says the Lord God, “When I ^agather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and will manifest My holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they will ^blive in their ¹land which I gave to My servant Jacob.

²⁶“They will ^alive in it securely; and they will ^bbuild houses, plant vineyards and live securely when I ^cexecute judgments upon all who scorn them round about them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.” ’ ”
