Judgment of Sidon

20 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 21 “Son of man, (A)set your face toward (B)Sidon, prophesy against her 22 and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says:

“Behold, I am against you, Sidon,
And I will appear in My glory in your midst.
Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I (C)execute judgments against her,
And I will reveal Myself as holy in her.
23 For (D)I will send a plague to her
And blood to her streets,
And the (E)wounded will [a]fall in her midst
By the sword upon her on every side;
Then they will know that I am the Lord.

24 And there will no longer be for the house of Israel a (F)painful thorn or a hurtful thorn bush from any surrounding them who despised them; then they will know that I am the Lord God.”
