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

22 and say, Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will manifest my glory in your midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord when I execute judgments in her and manifest my holiness in her;

23 for I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the slain shall fall in her midst, by the sword that is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
