Context of Ezekiel 35:13

11therefore, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, I will deal with you according to your anger, and according to your envy, by which you acted spitefully against them. I will reveal myself to them when I judge you. 12Then you will know that I, the Lord, have heard all the insults you spoke against the mountains of Israel, saying, “They are desolate, they have been given to us for food.” You exalted yourselves against me with your speech and hurled many insults against me – I have heard them all! 14This is what the sovereign Lord says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will turn you into a desolation. 15As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so will I deal with you – you will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all of Edom – all of it! Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
