Context of Ezekiel 35:13
11therefore, as I live — this is the declaration of the Lord God — I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them. I will make myself known among them when I judge you. 12Then you will know that I, the Lord, have heard all the blasphemies you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, “They are desolate. They have been given to us to devour!” You boasted against me with your mouth, and spoke many words against me. I heard it myself! 14“‘This is what the Lord God says: While the whole world rejoices, I will make you a desolation. 15Just as you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it became a desolation, I will deal the same way with you: you will become a desolation, Mount Seir, and so will all Edom in its entirety. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’
