“Behold, I am against you, Sidon,
And I will appear in My glory in your midst.

And I will reveal Myself as holy in her.
23 For (D)I will send a plague to her
And blood to her streets,
And the (E)wounded will [a]fall in her midst
By the sword upon her on every side;
Then they will know that I am the Lord.
