(Isa 65:13, Isa 65:14). “The whole earth” refers to Judea and the nations that submit themselves to Judea’s God; when these rejoice, the foes of God and His people, represented by Edom as a nation, shall be desolate. Things shall be completely reversed; Israel, that now for a time mourns, shall then rejoice and for ever. Edom, that now rejoices over fallen Israel, shall then, when elsewhere all is joy, mourn, and for ever (Isa 65:17-19; Mat 5:4; Luk 6:25). Havernick loses this striking antithesis by translating, “According to the joy of the whole land (of Edom), so I will make thee desolate”; which would make Eze 35:15 a mere repetition of this.
