Ezekiel 28:20-26

Ezekiel 28:20-26 NCV

The LORD spoke his word to me, saying: “Human, look toward the city of Sidon and prophesy against her. Say: ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: I am against you, Sidon, and I will show my glory among you. People will know that I am the LORD when I have punished Sidon; I will show my holiness by defeating her. I will send diseases to Sidon, and blood will flow in her streets. Those who are wounded in Sidon will fall dead, attacked from all sides. Then they will know that I am the LORD. “ ‘No more will neighboring nations be like thorny branches or sharp stickers to hurt Israel. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD. “ ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: I will gather the people of Israel from the nations where they are scattered. I will show my holiness when the nations see what I do for my people. Then they will live in their own land—the land I gave to my servant Jacob. They will live safely in the land and will build houses and plant vineyards. They will live in safety after I have punished all the nations around who hate them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’ ”
