Section 09
ποΈ Verses 20β23 β Prophecy Against Sidon
Then the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
βSon of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her.
Thus says The Almighty YHWH:
Behold, I am against you, O Sidon;
I will be glorified in your midst,
and they shall know that I am YHWH when I execute judgments in her and am hallowed in her.
For I will send pestilence upon her, and blood in her streetsβ¦β
Sidon, Tyreβs northern sister, shared its idolatry and trade empire.
Her fall would further reveal the holiness of YHWH.
The same pattern applies: wealth without reverence leads to ruin.
