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 saith the Lord God, when the whole earth rejoiceth,.... When it shall go well with the world in general, and the inhabitants of it; when they shall enjoy great peace and prosperity. Jarchi has a very good note upon this clause,
"when I shall take my kingdom; for then the earth will rejoice, as it is said, the Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;''
so when Christ takes to himself his great power, and reigns, his church and people will rejoice, Revelation 11:16, as well as at the destruction of antichrist, as follows:
I will make thee desolate; for so some render it, "the whole earth rejoiceth when I make thee desolate"; or, "so shall all the earth rejoice in the desolation which I shall make for thee" c; see
Revelation 18:20 and which agrees with what follows:
c "Sic laetabitur omnis terra in desolatione quam faciam tibi", Vatablus.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 35:14. When the whole earth rejoiceth — When the whole land shall rejoice in the restoration of the Jews, I will make thee desolate. Probably this refers to the time of the Maccabees.
