Against Mount Seir.] Inhabited by the Edomites.
And prophesy against it.] This had been done before, Eze 25:12 but not enough. God hath a further saying to them, and that for the comfort of his poor people who might thus object.

Here, therefore, they are heavily threatened with utter desolation for their malignity against Israel, and their blasphemy against God.
