“Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;”
therefore thus says the Lord God: I speak in the burning jealousy against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who gave my land to themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and utter contempt, establishing God's jealous opposition to the nations who seized Israel's land and mocked it. The phrase 'wholehearted joy and utter contempt' characterizes the nations' hatred.
