Ezekiel 28:21 In-Context

19 All the nations who know you are appalled over you. You have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”

20 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

21 “Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her.

22 And you are to declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will be glorified within you. They will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments against her and demonstrate My holiness through her.

23 I will send a plague against her and shed blood in her streets; the slain will fall within her, while the sword is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
