15. From the day you were createdyou were blameless in your waysuntil wickedness was found in you.
16. Through the abundance of your trade,you were filled with violence, and you sinned.So I expelled you in disgracefrom the mountain of God,and banished you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.
17. Your heart became proud because of your beauty; For the sake of your splendoryou corrupted your wisdom.So I threw you down to the earth;I made you a spectacle before kings.
18. You profaned your sanctuariesby the magnitude of your iniquitiesin your dishonest trade.So I made fire come from within you,and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the groundin the sight of everyone watching you.
19. All those who know you among the nationsare appalled at you.You have become an object of horrorand will never exist again.”
20. The word of the Lord came to me:
21. “Son of man, turn your face toward Sidon and prophesy against it.
22. You are to say: This is what the Lord God says:Look! I am against you, Sidon, and I will display My glory within you.They will know that I am Yahwehwhen I execute judgments against her and demonstrate My holiness through her.
