And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

"Son of man, ^(C1)set your face toward ^(C2)Sidon, prophesy against her

and say, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: "Behold, I am against you, Sidon, And I will appear in My glory in your midst. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I ^(C1)execute judgments against her, And I will reveal Myself as holy in her.

-"For ^(C1)I will send a plague to her And blood to her streets, And the ^(C2)wounded will ^(F1)fall in her midst By the sword upon her on every side; Then they will know that I am the LORD.

"And there will no longer be for the house of Israel a ^(C1)painful thorn or a hurtful thorn bush from any surrounding them who despised them; then they will know that I am the Lord GOD."

'This is what the Lord GOD says: "When I ^(C1)gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and show Myself holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will ^(C2)live on their land which I gave to My servant Jacob.

"They will ^(C1)live on it securely; and they will ^(C2)build houses, plant vineyards, and live securely when I ^(C3)execute judgments upon all around them who despise them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God."'"
