6 therefore as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "I will give you over to 1bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.
7 "I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will cut off from it the one who passes through and returns.
8 "I will 2fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will fall.
9 "I will make you an everlasting 3desolation and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
10 "Because you have 4said, 'These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,' although the 5LORD was there,
11 therefore as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "I will deal with you 6according to your anger and according to your envy which you showed because of your hatred against them; so I will 7make Myself known among them when I judge you.
12 "Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your revilings which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, 'They are laid desolate; they are 8given to us for food.'
13 "And you have 9spoken * arrogantly against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; 10I have heard it."
14 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "As all the 11earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation.
15 "As you 12rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because * it was desolate, 13so I will do to you. You will be a 14desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD."'

Ezekiel 35:6-15 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.
