EZEKIEL 28:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.”
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the slain shall fall in the midst of her, by the sword against her on every side; and they shall know that I am the Lord, specifying the mechanisms of judgment—pestilence (disease) and warfare—that will devastate Sidon. The comprehensive description ('blood in streets,' 'slain,' 'sword on every side') suggests total destruction affecting both public and private space. The final recognition formula affirms that survivors will understand the judgment as divine action.
