Ezekiel 28:20-26

English Standard Version

Prophecy Against Sidon

²⁰The word of the Lord came to me: ²¹^(A)“Son of man, ^(B)set your face toward ^(C)Sidon, and ^(D)prophesy against her ²²and say, Thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, ^(E)I am against you, O Sidon,
    and ^(F)I will manifest my glory in your midst.
And ^(G)they shall know that I am the Lord
    ^(H)when I execute judgments in her
    and ^(I)manifest my holiness in her;
²³for I will send ^(J)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.

²⁴“And for the house of Israel ^(K)there shall be no more a brier to prick or ^(L)a thorn to hurt them among all their neighbors ^(M)who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.

Israel Gathered in Security

²⁵“Thus says the Lord God: ^(N)When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and ^(O)manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, ^(P)then they shall dwell in their own land that I gave to my servant Jacob. ²⁶^(Q)And they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall dwell securely, ^(R)when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors ^(S)who have treated them with contempt. ^(T)Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
