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.

Ezekiel 35:10-15 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 35

This chapter is a prophecy of the destruction of Edom, which is threatened, Eze 35:1-4, the cause of it, their hatred and slaughter of the Israelites, Eze 35:5-9, their claim of the lands of Israel and Judah for possession, Eze 35:10,11, their blasphemies against the people of God, and the Lord himself, Eze 35:12,13, the aggravation of their ruin, which was irretrievable; that when it was well with others, it should go ill with them; by way of just retaliation, Eze 35:14,15.
