Contextual Overview

10 "For you said, ‘The lands of Israel and Judah will be ours. We will take possession of them. What do we care that the Lord is there!' 11 Therefore, as surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord , I will pay back your angry deeds with my own. I will punish you for all your acts of anger, envy, and hatred. And I will make myself known to Israel by what I do to you. 12 Then you will know that I, the Lord , have heard every contemptuous word you spoke against the mountains of Israel. For you said, ‘They are desolate; they have been given to us as food to eat!' 13 In saying that, you boasted proudly against me, and I have heard it all! 14 "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The whole world will rejoice when I make you desolate. 15 You rejoiced at the desolation of Israel's territory. Now I will rejoice at yours! You will be wiped out, you people of Mount Seir and all who live in Edom! 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.
