18. You defiled your sanctuarieswith your many sins and your dishonest trade.So I brought fire out from within you,and it consumed you.I reduced you to ashes on the groundin the sight of all who were watching.
19. All who knew you are appalled at your fate.You have come to a terrible end,and you will exist no more.”
20. Then another message came to me from the lord:
21. “Son of man, turn and face the city of Sidon and prophesy against it.
22. Give the people of Sidon this message from the Sovereign lord:“I am your enemy, O Sidon,and I will reveal my glory by what I do to you.When I bring judgment against youand reveal my holiness among you,everyone watching will knowthat I am the lord.
23. I will send a plague against you,and blood will be spilled in your streets.The attack will come from every direction,and your people will lie slaughtered within your walls.Then everyone will knowthat I am the lord.
