New English Translation

A Prophecy Against Sidon

20 The Lord’s message came to me: 21 “Son of man, turn toward[a] Sidon[b] and prophesy against it. 22 Say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Look, I am against you,[c] Sidon,
and I will magnify myself in your midst.
Then they will know that I am the Lord
when I execute judgments on her
and reveal my sovereign power[d] in her.

Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 28:21 tn Heb “set your face against.”
  2. Ezekiel 28:21 sn Sidon was located 25 miles north of Tyre.
  3. Ezekiel 28:22 tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘hinnenî ’êlékâ’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8.
  4. Ezekiel 28:22 tn Or “reveal my holiness.” God’s “holiness” is fundamentally his transcendence as sovereign ruler of the world. The revelation of his authority and power through judgment is in view in this context.
