Ezekiel 35:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Covetousness is here charged upon these Edomites. These two; Israel and Judah, two ever after the revolt of the ten tribes. We will possess it; with arrogance they determine what they will do; they reckon the right was theirs, as being the descendants of the elder brother, and now the possession they say shall be theirs too. The Lord was there: either thus, though God was with Israel, their patron and their right; this is blasphemous pride, to resolve thus against God himself; or though he was present among them, heard their resolutions, and would disappoint them.
