Ezekiel 35:15

15 Since you danced in the streets, thinking it was so wonderful when Israel's inheritance was demolished, I'll give you the same treatment: demolition. Mount Seir demolished - yes, every square inch of Edom. Then they'll realize that I am God!'

Ezekiel 35:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 35:15

As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of
Israel, because it was desolate
So Edom rejoiced at the destruction of Jerusalem, ( Obadiah 1:12 ) , and so the followers of the man of sin will rejoice at the slaying of the witnesses, ( Revelation 11:10 ) , which is resented by the Lord, and therefore adds, so will I do unto thee;
make thee desolate, as is explained in the next clause: thou shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it;
not that mount only, but all the land of Edom, called Idumea; the destruction shall be general, as it was, and irretrievable; and so not Rome only, but all the antichristian states, will be destroyed, when God comes forth in his wrath against them: and they shall know that I am the Lord;
the Lord God omniscient and omnipotent; who, having foretold all this, shall accomplish it.

13 You've strutted around, talking so big, insolently pitting yourselves against me. And I've heard it all.
14 "'This is the verdict of God, the Master: With the whole earth applauding, I'll demolish you.
15 Since you danced in the streets, thinking it was so wonderful when Israel's inheritance was demolished, I'll give you the same treatment: demolition. Mount Seir demolished - yes, every square inch of Edom. Then they'll realize that I am God!'
