Proclamation Against Sidon
20 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Son of man, aset your face btoward Sidon, and prophesy against her,
22 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
a“Behold, I am against you, O Sidon;
I will be glorified in your midst;
And bthey shall know that I am the Lord,
When I execute judgments in her and am challowed in her.
a“Behold, I am against you, O Sidon;
I will be glorified in your midst;
And bthey shall know that I am the Lord,
When I execute judgments in her and am challowed in her.
23 aFor I will send pestilence upon her,
And blood in her streets;
The wounded shall be judged in her midst
By the sword against her on every side;
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
And blood in her streets;
The wounded shall be judged in her midst
By the sword against her on every side;
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 “And there shall no longer be a pricking brier or aa painful thorn for the house of Israel from among all who are around them, who bdespise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
Israel’s Future Blessing
25 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “When I have agathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am bhallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob.
26 And they will adwell safely there, bbuild houses, and cplant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God.” ’ ”
