Ezekiel 35:12 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 35:12

10 “Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will ^apossess them,’ although ^bthe Lord was there,

11 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will do ^aaccording to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.

12 ^aThen you shall know that I am the Lord. I have ^bheard all your ^cblasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to consume.’

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.” ’

Ezekiel 35:12-13

blasphemies . . . against . . . Israel . . . against me—God regards what is done against His people as done against Himself (Matthew 25:45; Acts 9:2, Acts 9:4-5). Edom implied, if he did not express it, in his taunts against Israel, that God had not sufficient power to protect His people. A type of the spirit of all the foes of God and His people (I Samuel 2:3; Revelation 13:6).
