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.
24. No longer will Israel’s scornful neighborsprick and tear at her like briers and thorns.For then they will knowthat I am the Sovereign lord.
25. “This is what the Sovereign lord says: The people of Israel will again live in their own land, the land I gave my servant Jacob. For I will gather them from the distant lands where I have scattered them. I will reveal to the nations of the world my holiness among my people.
26. They will live safely in Israel and build homes and plant vineyards. And when I punish the neighboring nations that treated them with contempt, they will know that I am the lord their God.”
