Ezekiel 28:19

17 Your heart grew proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I made you a spectacle before kings.

18 By the multitude of your iniquities and the dishonesty of your trading you have profaned your sanctuaries. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you.

All the nations who know you are appalled over you. You have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”

20 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

21 “Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
