In biblical context, boasting against God signifies a deep-seated rebellion and lack of reverence. Historically, Edom, descended from Esau, had a long-standing enmity with Israel, the descendants of Jacob. This enmity is rooted in the Genesis account of Jacob and Esau, where Esau sold his birthright to Jacob. The boasting here can be seen as Edom's prideful attitude and their belief in their own strength and security, despite God's sovereignty. This is reminiscent of other biblical instances where nations or individuals boasted against God, such as in <a href="/isaiah/10-15.htm">Isaiah 10:15</a>, where Assyria is rebuked for its arrogance.<p><b>and multiplied your words against Me.</b><br>The multiplication of words against God suggests persistent and repeated blasphemy or slander. This indicates not just a single act of defiance but a continual pattern of disrespect and opposition. In the cultural context of the ancient Near East, words held significant power, and to speak against a deity was a serious offense. This phrase underscores the gravity of Edom's sin, as they not only opposed God but did so repeatedly and with increasing intensity. This can be paralleled with the behavior of other nations in the Bible, such as Babylon, which also spoke arrogantly against God (<a href="/isaiah/47-8.htm">Isaiah 47:8-10</a>).<p><b>I heard it Myself!</b><br>This declaration emphasizes God's omniscience and His personal involvement in the affairs of nations. It serves as a reminder that no action or word escapes God's notice. Theologically, this reflects the belief in a God who is both transcendent and immanent, aware of and responsive to human actions. This assurance of divine awareness is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/psalms/94-9.htm">Psalm 94:9</a>, which affirms that God, who created the ear, surely hears. It also serves as a warning that God will hold nations and individuals accountable for their words and actions, as seen in the judgment pronounced on Edom in the surrounding passages of <a href="/ezekiel/35.htm">Ezekiel 35</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.
