Context of Ezekiel 28:19

17But because you were so beautiful, you were very proud. You used your wisdom to do bad things, because you loved to have beautiful things. So I threw you down to the ground. I let other kings see what had happened to you. 18As a trader, you did many wrong things to cheat people. Your holy places became unclean. So I caused fire to completely destroy your city. Everyone could see that only ashes remained on the ground. All the people of other nations who knew you are very afraid. They have seen the terrible thing that has happened to you. You have come to a complete end and you will never return.” ’ 20The Lord gave this message to me: 21‘Son of man, turn and look towards Sidon. Tell them my message to warn them.
