THE MESSAGE
God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, confront Sidon. Preach against it. Say, ‘Message from God , the Master: "‘Look! I'm against you, Sidon. I intend to be known for who I truly am among you.' They'll know that I am God when I set things right and reveal my holy presence. I'll order an epidemic of disease there, along with murder and mayhem in the streets. People will drop dead right and left, as war presses in from every side. Then they'll realize that I mean business, that I am God .

Contextual Overview

20 The word of the Lord came to me. He said, 21 "Son of man, look toward Sidon and speak for me against that place. 22 Say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: "‘I am against you, Sidon! Your people will learn to respect me. I will punish Sidon. Then people will know that I am the Lord . Then they will learn that I am holy, and they will treat me that way. 23 I will send disease and death to Sidon, and many people inside the city will die. Soldiers outside the city will kill many people. Then people will know that I am the Lord ! 24 "‘Then the surrounding nations that hate Israel will no longer be like stinging nettles and painful thorns. And they will know that I am the Lord God .'" 25 This is what the Lord God said: "I scattered the people of Israel among other nations, but I will gather the family of Israel together again. Then the nations will know that I am holy, and they will treat me that way. At that time the people of Israel will live in their land—I gave that land to my servant Jacob. 26 They will live safely in the land. They will build houses and plant vineyards. I will punish the nations around them that hated them. Then the people of Israel will live in safety, and they will know that I am the Lord their God."
