Context of Ezekiel 35:8

6therefore, as I live’—it is a declaration of Adonai—‘I will destine you for blood, and bloodshed will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you. 7I will make Mount Seir an utter desolation. I will cut off from it all who come and go. I 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. 10“Because you said: ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine! We will possess them’—though Adonai was there—
