Ezekiel 35:3

¹ Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

² “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it,

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.

⁴ I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

⁵ Because you harbored an ancient hatred and delivered the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their disaster at the final stage of their punishment,

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.
