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.

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.

and reveal my sovereign power[d] in her.
23 I will send a plague into the city[e] and bloodshed into its streets;
the slain will fall within it, by the sword that attacks it[f] from every side.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.
Notas al pie
- Ezekiel 28:21 tn Heb “set your face against.”
- Ezekiel 28:21 sn Sidon was located 25 miles north of Tyre.
- 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.
- 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.
- Ezekiel 28:23 tn Heb “into it”; the referent of the feminine pronoun has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- Ezekiel 28:23 tn Heb “by a sword against it.”
