16 Your commerce was full of lawlessness, and you sinned.Therefore I banished you from the mountain of God;the cherub drove you outfrom among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart had grown haughtybecause of your beauty;You corrupted your wisdombecause of your splendor.I cast you to the ground,I made you a spectaclein the sight of kings.
18 Because of the enormity of your guilt,and the perversity of your trade,you defiled your sanctuary.I brought fire out of you;it devoured you;I made you ashes on the groundin the eyes of all who see you.
19 All the nations who knew youare appalled on account of you;You have become a horror,never to be again.
20 The word of the Lord came to me:
21 Son of man, turn your face toward Sidon and prophesy against it.
22 Thus says the Lord God:Watch out! I am against you, Sidon;I will win glory for myself in your midst.They shall know that I am the Lord,when I deliver judgment upon itand manifest my holiness in it.
