Ezekiel 28:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 28:20

18 “You defiled your sanctuaries
By the multitude of your iniquities,
By the iniquity of your trading;
Therefore I brought fire from your midst;
It devoured you,
And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
In the sight of all who saw you.

19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;
^aYou have become a horror,
And shall be no ^bmore forever.” ’ ”

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.

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.

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.
