Ezekiel 35:11-12

11 therefore as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "I will deal with you ¹according to your anger and according to your envy which you showed because of your hatred against them; so I will ²make 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 ³given to us for food.'

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 35
