Ezekiel 35:15

13 Thus ^awith your mouth you have boasted against Me and multiplied your ^bwords against Me; I have heard them.”

14 ‘Thus says the Lord God: ^a“The whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate.

15 ^aAs you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, ^bso I will do to you; you shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom—all of it! Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’

(Obadiah 1:12, Obadiah 1:15).

The distinction between Israel and the heathen (as Edom) is: Israel has a covenant relation to God ensuring restoration after chastisement, so that the heathen's hope of getting possession of the elect people's inheritance must fail, and they themselves be made desolate (Ezekiel 36:1-15). The reason for the chastisement of Israel was Israel's sin and profanation of God's name (Ezekiel 36:16-21). God has good in store for Israel, for His own name's sake, to revive His people; first, by a spiritual renewal of their hearts, and, next, by an external restoration to prosperity (Ezekiel 36:22-33). The result is that the heathen shall be impressed with the power and goodness of God manifested so palpably towards the restored people (Ezekiel 36:34-38).
