²⁰A message came to me from the Lord. He said, ²¹“Son of man, turn your attention to the city of Sidon. Prophesy against it. ²²Say, ‘The Lord and King says,

“ ‘ “Sidon, I am against your people.

I will gain glory for myself inside your city walls.

I will punish your people.

I will show that I am holy among them.

Then they will know that I am the Lord.

²³I will send a plague on them.

I will make blood flow in your streets.

Those who are killed will fall inside you.

Swords will strike your people on every side.

Then they will know that I am the Lord.

²⁴“ ‘ “The people of Israel will no longer have neighbors who hate them. Those neighbors will not be like sharp and painful thorns anymore. Then Israel will know that I am the Lord and King.” ’ ”

²⁵The Lord and King says, “I will gather the people of Israel together from the nations where they have been scattered. I will show that I am holy among them. I will let the nations see it. Then Israel will live in their own land. I gave it to my servant Jacob. ²⁶My people will live there in safety. They will build houses. They will plant vineyards. They will live in safety. I will punish all of their neighbors who told lies about them. Then Israel will know that I am the Lord their God.”
