17. You became too proudbecause of your beauty.You ruined your wisdombecause of your greatness.I threw you down to the ground.Your example taught a lesson to other kings.
18. You dishonored your places of worshipthrough your many sins and dishonest trade.So I set your city on fire.And it burned up.I turned you into ashes on the groundfor all those watching to see.
19. All the nations who knew youare shocked about you.Your punishment was so terrible.And you are gone forever.’”
20. The Lord spoke his word to me. He said:
21. “Human being, look toward the city of Sidon and prophesy against her.
22. Say: ‘This is what the Lord God says:I am against you, Sidon.I will show my greatness among you.Then people will know that I am the Lordwhen I have punished Sidon.I will show my holiness by defeating her.
