22and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD,
         “Behold, I am against you, O Sidon,
         And I will be glorified in your midst.
         Then they will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments in her,
         And I will manifest My holiness in her.

23“For I will send pestilence to her
         And blood to her streets,
         And the wounded will fall in her midst
         By the sword upon her on every side;
         Then they will know that I am the LORD.

24“And there will be no more for the house of Israel a prickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”

Israel Regathered

      25‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and will manifest My holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they will live in their land which I gave to My servant Jacob. 26“They will live in it securely; and they will build houses, plant vineyards and live securely when I execute judgments upon all who scorn them round about them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
