Ezekiel 28:22 Meaning and Commentary
Ver. 22 And say, thus saith the Lord God
The eternal Jehovah, the only true God, the Maker of heaven and earth; this is said by way of preface to the prophecy, and to assure of the fulfilment of it, as well as in opposition to the gods of the Zidonians: behold, I am against thee, O Zidon;
angry with thee, and will come out against thee in my wrath, because of thine idolatries and impieties. The Targum is,
not by the conversion of them; nor by acts of religious worship truly performed by them: by prayer, confession of sin, or thanksgiving; but by his judgments executed in the midst of them; by pouring out the vials of his wrath on them, as it follows: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have executed
judgments in her;
for the Lord is known, by the judgments he executes, to be that pure, holy, just, and sin avenging God he is, as well as omniscient and omnipotent; and this even Heathens and antichristian persons are obliged to acknowledge, ( Psalms 9:15 Psalms 9:16 ) : and shall be sanctified in her;
that is, shall appear, be declared and owned, to be a God, just and holy, in all his ways and works.

``behold, I send my fury upon thee, O Zidon:''I will be glorified in the midst of thee;
not by the conversion of them; nor by acts of religious worship truly performed by them: by prayer, confession of sin, or thanksgiving; but by his judgments executed in the midst of them; by pouring out the vials of his wrath on them, as it follows: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have executed

The LORD's word came to me:
21
Human one, face Sidon, prophesy against it,
22
and say, The LORD God proclaims: I'm against you, Sidon, and I will manifest my glory in you. When I've executed judgment against it and through it have manifested my holiness, they will know that I am the LORD.
23
I will hurl plague against it, and blood will run in its streets. When the sword comes against it from all sides, the slain will fall within it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24
The house of Israel will no longer suffer from the pricking thorn or painful briar of any of its neighbors who hold it in contempt. And they will know that I am the LORD God.
