Context
28:18 By the multitude of your iniquities , through the sinfulness of your trade , you desecrated your sanctuaries . So I drew fire out from within you; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth before the eyes of all who saw you.
28:19 All who know you among the peoples are shocked at you; you have become terrified and will be no more .’”
A Prophecy Against Sidon
28:20 The word of the Lord came to me:
28:21 “Son of man , turn toward Sidon and prophesy against it.
28:22 Say , ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says : “‘Look , I am against you, Sidon , and I will magnify myself in your midst . Then they will know that I am the Lord when I execute judgments on her and reveal my sovereign power in her.
28:23 I will send a plague into the city and bloodshed into its streets ; the slain will fall within it, by the sword that attacks it from every side . Then they will know that I am the Lord .
28:24 “‘No longer will Israel suffer from the sharp briers or painful thorns of all who surround and scorn them. Then they will know that I am the sovereign Lord .
28:25 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says : When I regather the house of Israel from the peoples where they are dispersed , I will reveal my sovereign power over them in the sight of the nations , and they will live in their land that I gave to my servant Jacob .
28:26 They will live securely in it; they will build houses and plant vineyards . They will live securely when I execute my judgments on all those who scorn them and surround them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God .’”
