Ezekiel 35:3 meaning and explanation

and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.

Ezekiel 35:3, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Ezekiel is the speaker, a prophet in exile in Babylon, and God commands him to address Mount Seir, the hill country of Edom, the nation descended from Esau and Israel's long-standing rival. The phrase "I am against you" is a formal declaration of opposition, and the stretched-out hand is a picture of active, deliberate judgment rather than mere displeasure.
