16 In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned; so I defiled you and banished you from the mountain of God – the guardian cherub expelled you from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty;you corrupted your wisdom on account of your splendor.I threw you down to the ground; I placed you before kings, that they might see you.
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.
19 All who know you among the peoples are shocked at you;you have become terrified and will be no more.’”
20 The word of the Lord came to me:
21 “Son of man, turn toward Sidon and prophesy against it.
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.
