Ezequiel 28:20-24

20 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

21 Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro hacia Sidón, y profetiza contra ella;

22 y dirás: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: He aquí yo contra ti, oh Sidón, y en medio de ti seré glorificado; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR, cuando hiciere en ella juicios, y en ella me santificare.

23 Y enviaré a ella pestilencia y sangre en sus plazas; y caerán muertos en medio de ella; con espada contra ella alrededor; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.

24 Y nunca más será a la Casa de Israel espino que le punce, ni espino que le dé dolor, en todos los alrededores de los que los menosprecian; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.
