Ezekiel 28:14-24

14 I appointed a living creature to guard you. I put you on the holy mountain of God. You walked among the gems that shined like fire.
15 Your life was right and good from the day you were created, until evil was found in you.
16 Because you traded with countries far away, you learned to be cruel, and you sinned. So I threw you down in disgrace from the mountain of God. And the living creature who guarded you forced you out from among the gems that shined like fire.
17 You became too proud because of your beauty. You ruined your wisdom because of your greatness. I threw you down to the ground. Your example taught a lesson to other kings.
18 You dishonored your places of worship through your many sins and dishonest trade. So I set on fire the place where you lived, and the fire burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground for all those watching to see.
19 All the nations who knew you are shocked about you. Your punishment was so terrible, and you are gone forever.'"
20 The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
21 "Human, look toward the city of Sidon and prophesy against her.
22 Say: 'This is what the Lord God says: I am against you, Sidon, and I will show my glory among you. when I have punished Sidon; I will show my holiness by defeating her.
23 I will send diseases to Sidon, and blood will flow in her streets. Those who are wounded in Sidon will fall dead, attacked from all sides. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
24 "'No more will neighboring nations be like thorny branches or sharp stickers to hurt Israel. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
