Ezekiel 35:9 — Meaning and Application

Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. {most...: Heb. desolation and desolation}

And I will fill his mountains with his slain {men}: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I {am} the LORD.

Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there: {whereas...: or, though the LORD was there}

Therefore, {as} I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
