Context of Ezekiel 35:10
8I will fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills, your valleys and all your streams those slain by the sword will fall. 9I will make you everlasting desolations; your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am Adonai. “Because you said: ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine! We will possess them’—though Adonai was there— 11“therefore, as I live”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“I will deal with you with the same anger and envy that you had because of your hatred against them. I will make Myself known among them, when I judge you. 12You will know that I, Adonai, have heard all your blasphemies that you uttered against the mountains of Israel saying: “They are laid desolate—they are given for us to devour!”

In the destruction of the enemies of the church, God designs his own glory; and we may be sure that he will not come short of his…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5-10The ancient hatred of Edom for Israel began with their ancestors, Esau and Jacob (see Genesis 25:19–34; 27:1–46; Numbers 20:14–21; 24:18; 2 Samuel 8:13–14; 1 Kings 11:14).
