Ezekiel 35:10-15

Listen to Ezekiel 35:10-15
10 “Because you said, 1‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and 2we will take possession of them’—although the 3Lord was there—
11 therefore, 4as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you 5according to the anger and 6envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And 7I will make myself known among them, when I judge you.
12 And you shall know that I am the Lord. 8“I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are laid desolate; 9they are given us to devour. ’
13 And 10you magnified yourselves against me 11with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it.
14 Thus says the Lord God: 12While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15 As you 13rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, 14Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then 15they will know that I am the Lord.
