Ezekiel 28:21

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.

Zidon—famous for its fishery (from a root, Zud, "to fish"); and afterwards for its wide extended commerce; its artistic elegance was proverbial. Founded by Canaan's first-born (Genesis 10:15). Tyre was an offshoot from it, so that it was involved in the same overthrow by the Chaldeans as Tyre. It is mentioned separately, because its idolatry (Ashtaroth, Tammuz, or Adonis) infected Israel more than that of Tyre did (Ezekiel 8:14; Judges 10:6; I Kings 11:33). The notorious Jezebel was a daughter of the Zidonian king.
