z "Behold, I am against you, O Sidon;
I will be glorified in your midst;
And a they shall know that I am the LORD,
When I execute judgments in her and am b hallowed in her. 23 c For I will send pestilence upon her,
And blood in her streets;
The wounded shall be judged in her midst
By the sword against her on every side;
Then they shall know that I am the LORD.

24 "And there shall no longer be a pricking brier or d a painful thorn for the house of Israel from among all who are around them, who e despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
