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 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.

    when I execute judgments in it
    and manifest my holiness in it;(B)

And they shall know that I am the Lord.(C)
