The prophecy shows that God will judge Edom for its hostility and violence against Israel. The message is that God is just and will punish those who harm His people. This prophecy follows promises of blessing for Israel and focuses on the destruction of their enemies.

v. 1: The word of the Lord comes to Ezekiel, instructing him to set his face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it. Mount Seir is the territory of Edom, Israel’s long-standing enemy. God’s message is directed specifically to this region, showing that He sees and remembers the actions of nations against His people (Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, Ezekiel 35:1-2 ^a).

v. 2: God tells Ezekiel to announce His opposition to Mount Seir. The Lord declares, “Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate” (Ezekiel 35:3 ^b). This shows that when God is against a nation, its fate is sealed. God’s hand of judgment will bring total desolation.
