In the prophetic books, this introduction is common, underscoring that the prophet speaks not on his own authority but as a mouthpiece for God. It reflects the seriousness and certainty of the prophecy, as it comes directly from the sovereign Lord.<p><b>While the whole earth rejoices:</b><br>This part of the verse contrasts the fate of Edom with the rest of the world. Historically, Edom had been a long-standing enemy of Israel, often rejoicing at Israel's misfortunes (see <a href="/obadiah/1-12.htm">Obadiah 1:12</a>). The phrase suggests a time of general peace or prosperity for other nations, possibly pointing to the Messianic age or a period of restoration for Israel. It highlights the isolation of Edom's judgment amidst a backdrop of global joy.<p><b>I will make you desolate:</b><br>The desolation of Edom is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature (see <a href="/isaiah/34-9.htm">Isaiah 34:9-15</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/49-17.htm">Jeremiah 49:17-18</a>). This prophecy was fulfilled historically when Edom was conquered and its cities destroyed. Theologically, it serves as a warning against pride and hostility towards God's people. The desolation can also be seen as a type of ultimate judgment, reflecting the final separation of the righteous from the wicked. The imagery of desolation is often used to depict the consequences of sin and rebellion against God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord_god.htm">The Lord GOD</a></b><br>The sovereign and covenant-keeping God of Israel, who speaks with authority and power.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/edom.htm">Edom</a></b><br>A nation descended from Esau, often at enmity with Israel, representing hostility towards God's people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_whole_earth.htm">The Whole Earth</a></b><br>Symbolizes the nations and peoples who are not aligned with God's covenant, often rejoicing in worldly success.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/d/desolation.htm">Desolation</a></b><br>A state of emptiness and ruin, often used in prophetic literature to describe divine judgment.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God, tasked with delivering messages of judgment and hope to Israel and the surrounding nations.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_judgment.htm">God's Sovereignty in Judgment</a></b><br>God is just and sovereign, executing judgment on nations that oppose His people.

It seems better, however, to keep the sense of our version, for the thought is not confined to Edom. When all the earth shall rejoice in the salvation of God, and "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord," then Edom, the hostile power of the world, shall be desolate.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/35.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 14.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.</span> By "the whole earth," Fairbairn, Haverniek, and Schroder understand "the whole land of Edom." In this case the sense is that, as the whole land of Edom had previously exulted with joy, so should it in the future be made completely desolate. Ewald, Hengstenberg, Keil, Kliefoth, Smend, and Plumptre, however, more correctly interpret the phrase as signifying the whole human race, with the exception of Edom. Accordingly, the thought seems to be, not that of Ewald and Smend, that Jehovah would make Edom's devastation a sport or comedy (<span class="accented">freudespiel</span>) <span class="accented">to</span> the whole world; or that of Kliefoth and Hitzig, that God would make Edom desolate, whilst all the earth rejoiced over her downfall; but that of Keil, Plumptre, and others, that just as Jehovah was preparing for the whole earth of redeemed humanity a glorious future of joy, so certainly would Edom and all whom Edom represented be excluded from participation in that joy. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">This is what</span><br /><span class="heb">כֹּ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(kōh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3541.htm">Strong's 3541: </a> </span><span class="str2">Like this, thus, here, now</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the Lord</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲדֹנָ֣י</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·ḏō·nāy)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_136.htm">Strong's 136: </a> </span><span class="str2">The Lord</span><br /><br /><span class="word">GOD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוִ֑ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3069.htm">Strong's 3069: </a> </span><span class="str2">YHWH</span><br /><br /><span class="word">says:</span><br /><span class="heb">אָמַ֖ר</span> <span class="translit">(’ā·mar)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> </span><span class="str2">To utter, say</span><br /><br /><span class="word">‘While the whole</span><br /><span class="heb">כָּל־</span> <span class="translit">(kāl-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> </span><span class="str2">The whole, all, any, every</span><br /><br /><span class="word">earth</span><br /><span class="heb">הָאָ֔רֶץ</span> <span class="translit">(hā·’ā·reṣ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> </span><span class="str2">Earth, land</span><br /><br /><span class="word">rejoices,</span><br /><span class="heb">כִּשְׂמֹ֙חַ֙</span> <span class="translit">(kiś·mō·aḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-k | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8055.htm">Strong's 8055: </a> </span><span class="str2">To brighten up, be, blithe, gleesome</span><br /><br /><span class="word">I will make</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶעֱשֶׂה־</span> <span class="translit">(’e·‘ĕ·śeh-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> </span><span class="str2">To do, make</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you</span><br /><span class="heb">לָּֽךְ׃</span> <span class="translit">(lāḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | second person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> </span><span class="str2"></span><br /><br /><span class="word">desolate.</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁמָמָ֖ה</span> <span class="translit">(šə·mā·māh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8077.htm">Strong's 8077: </a> </span><span class="str2">Devastation, astonishment</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/ezekiel/35-14.htm">Ezekiel 35:14 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/ezekiel/35-14.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 35:14 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: When (Ezek.
