Contextual Overview

10 You said, "These two nations and countries, Israel and Judah, will be mine. We will take them for our own." But the Lord is there! 11 And the Lord God says, "You were jealous of my people. You were angry and hateful to them. So by my life, I swear that I will punish you the same way you hurt them! I will punish you and let my people know that I am with them. 12 And then you, too, will know that I am the Lord . "I have heard you making fun of Israel's hill country. You said, ‘It is in ruins, just waiting for us to swallow it up.' 13 Your proud boasting is really against me. Time after time you have insulted me, and I have heard every word." 14 This is what the Lord God says: "All the earth will be happy when I destroy you. 15 You were happy when the country of Israel was destroyed. I will treat you the same way. Mount Seir and the whole country of Edom will be destroyed. Then you will know that I am the Lord ."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me,.... Or, "magnified against me" a; spoke great swelling words of vanity, or had a mouth opened to speak great things and blasphemy against God, as antichrist is said to do, Revelation 13:5, what is spoken against the Lord's people is taken by him as spoken against himself:

and have multiplied your words against me; not in prayer, by deprecations or supplications, as the word b used sometimes signifies; but in reproaches and calumnies, vilifying expressions and hard speeches, against his people, in great numbers; which is all one as if they were directed against him:

I have heard them; these the Lord takes notice of, and will call to an account for, either here or hereafter; see Judges 1:15.

a תגדילו עלי "magnificastis contra me", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Polanus, Cocceius, Starckius. b חעתרתם ab עתר "orare suppliciter".

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 35:13. Thus with your mouth ye have boasted ayainst me — Ye have said you would enter into those lands, and take them for your inheritance; though ye knew that God had promised them to the Israelites, and that you should never have them for your portion.
