Ezekiel 28:22-26

Say, “This is what the Almighty Lord says: Listen! I have become your enemy, Sidon. I will show your people how great I am. Then they will know that I am the Lord. I will punish your people for their sins so that they know that I am a holy God.

I will cause disease to kill people in the city. Enemies will attack from all around the city, and people will die in the streets. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

Israel will no longer suffer because of the nations that are around them. Those nations will not be like sharp thorns that give the Israelites pain. They will not insult the Israelites any more. Then they will know that I am the Almighty Lord.

This is what the Almighty Lord says: I will bring Israel's people back from the countries where I sent them to live. Then all the nations will see that I am a holy God for my people. My people will live in their own land that I gave to my servant, Jacob.

They will live there safely. They will build houses and they will plant vineyards. I will punish all the nations around them who have insulted them. Then my people will live safely in their homes. And they will know that I am the Lord their God.” ’
