John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 28:23

"For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am Jehovah." — Ezekiel 28:23 (ASV)

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" ^F23, 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, (Revelation 16:1) :

and they shall know that I am the Lord God ;
who am able to foretell things to come, and to accomplish them.
