18 You have defiled your sanctuariesby the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trade;therefore I have brought fire out from your midst;it has devoured you,and I have turned you to ashes upon the earthin the sight of all those who see you.
19 All those who know you among the peopleare astonished at you;you are a terror,and you shall cease to be forever.
20 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 Son of man, set your face toward Sidon and prophesy against her
22 and say, Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Sidon;and I will be glorified in your midst;and they shall know that I am the Lord,when I execute judgments in herand display My holiness in her.
23 For I will send pestilence into her,and blood into her streets;and the wounded shall fall in her midstby the sword upon her on every side;and they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor any painful thorn among all who are around them, who despised them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord God.
