Ezekiel 28:21 In-Context

19 You are gone, gone forever, and all the nations that had come to know you are terrified, afraid that they will share your fate."
20 The Lord said to me,
21 "Mortal man, denounce the city of Sidon.
22 Tell the people there what I, the Sovereign Lord, say about them: I am your enemy, Sidon; people will praise me because of what I do to you. They will know that I am the Lord, when I show how holy I am by punishing those who live in you.
23 I will send diseases on you and make blood flow in your streets. You will be attacked from every side, and your people will be killed. Then you will know that I am the Lord."
