18 By the multitude of your iniquities,in the unrighteousness of your tradeyou profaned your sanctuaries;so I brought fire out from your midst;it consumed you,and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you.
19 All who know you among the peoplesare appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful endand shall be no more forever.”
20 The word of the Lord came to me:
21 “Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her
22 and say, Thus says the Lord God:“Behold, I am against you, O Sidon,and I will manifest my glory in your midst.And they shall know that I am the Lord when I execute judgments in herand manifest my holiness in her;
23 for I will send pestilence into her,and blood into her streets;and the slain shall fall in her midst,by the sword that is against her on every side.Then they will know that I am the Lord.
24 “And for the house of Israel there shall be no more a brier to prick or a thorn to hurt them among all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
