📚 Historical Context
In the book of Ezekiel, written during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, the prophet delivers God's judgment against Edom, a nation descended from Esau that had long been a rival to Israel. Edom took advantage of Israel's vulnerability during the Babylonian invasions, rejoicing in Jerusalem's fall and speaking boastfully against God and His people. This verse highlights God's awareness of their words as He prepares to enact justice.
