Context of Ezekiel 28:19

17You became too proud because of your beauty. You wasted your wisdom because of your greatness. So I threw you to the ground and left you in front of the kings so that they could see you. 18You dishonored your own holy places because of your many sins and dishonest trade. So I set fire to you to burn you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground in the presence of all who saw you. All the nations who knew you are horrified because of you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will never exist again.’ ” 20The Lord spoke his word to me. He said, 21“Son of man, turn to Sidon and prophesy against it.
