Ezekiel 28:21 In-Context

19 All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.
20 The word of the Lord came to me:
21 Mortal, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 and say, Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Sidon, and I will gain glory in your midst. They shall know that I am the Lord when I execute judgments in it, and manifest my holiness in it;
23 for I will send pestilence into it, and bloodshed into its streets; and the dead shall fall in its midst, by the sword that is against it on every side. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
