Ezekiel 28:23

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets,.... The plague and the sword, which are two of God's sore judgments, and often go together; the pestilence slays them that are within, and the sword those the enemy meets with in the streets:and the wounded shall be judged; that is, punished; or "shall fall" , die and perish:in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; this was literally fulfilled in Zidon, either by Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldean army, which besieged it on every side; or by Artaxerxes Ochus the Persian, who took it, and destroyed it; and will have its accomplishment on the antichristian states, eastern and western, when the vials shall be poured out upon them, Re 16:1:and they shall know that I am the Lord God; who am able to foretell things to come, and to accomplish them.
