Ezekiel 35:11
9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
10 Because you have said, ‘These two nations and countries will be ours, and we will possess them,’ even though the LORD was there,
therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred against them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
12 Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every contemptuous word you uttered against the mountains of Israel when you said, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to devour!’
13 You boasted against Me with your mouth and multiplied your words against Me. I heard it Myself!
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
