Ezekiel 35:1 Summary
[This verse tells us that God is speaking directly to the prophet Ezekiel, giving him a message to share with others. In simple terms, God is saying 'I have a message for you, Ezekiel, and I want you to share it with the people of Mount Seir' (as seen in Ezekiel 35:2-3). This reminds us that God is always speaking to us, and we need to listen to His voice, just like we see in Psalm 119:105. By listening to God's voice, we can learn more about His love and plan for our lives, and we can be obedient to His will, just like Ezekiel was.]

CHAPTER XXXV The prophet having formerly predicted the ruin of Edom, the same with Seir, (Ezekiel 25:12,) now resumes and pursues the subject at greater length, intimating, as did also Isaiah, (Isaiah 21:11-12,) that though other nations should recover their liberty after the fall of the Babylonian monarchy, the Edomites should continue in bondage for their very despiteful behaviour towards the children of Israel in the day of their calamity, 1-15.
