Ezekiel 28:20-23
Christian Standard Bible
A Prophecy against Sidon
20 The word of the Lord came to me: 21 “Son of man, face Sidon(A) and prophesy against it. 22 You are to say, ‘This is what the Lord God says:
Look! I am against you, Sidon,(B)
and I will display my glory within you.
They will know that I am the Lord
when I execute judgments against her(C)
and demonstrate my holiness through her.
23 I will send a plague against her(D)
and bloodshed in her streets;
the slain will fall within her,
while the sword is against her[a] on every side.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.

International Standard Version
The Judgment of Sidon
20 Another message came to me from the Lord, who had this to say:
21 “Son of Man, turn your attention[a] to Sidon and prophesy against her.[b] 22 Tell her:
‘Pay attention to me, Sidon!
I’m against you,
and I’m going to glorify myself right in your midst.’
They’ll learn that I am the Lord
when I carry out these punishments
and manifest my holiness in her midst.
23 I’m going to send disease into that city[c]
and blood into her streets.
People will drop dead in her midst
from the violence done to[d] her from every side.
Then they’ll learn that I am the Lord God.”
