I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it all who come and go.
God does not stand neutral toward those who hate His people; He takes their enmity as His own and will reckon for it. The Edomites nursed a hereditary malice against Israel, the old hatred of Esau for Jacob, and passed it down through generations, a sad proof that children more readily imitate their parents' vices than their repentance.

Commenting on Ezekiel 35:1-9
Thus will I make Mount Seir most desolate,.... By shedding the blood of the inhabitants of it; and as Rome will be, when it will be utterly burnt with fire, as that city will, and the flesh of the whore also, and made desolate; and when all the vials shall be poured out on the antichristian states under her jurisdiction, Rev 16:1, and cut off...
cut off . . . him that passeth--that is, every passer to and fro; "the highways shall be unoccupied" (Eze 29:11; Jdg 5:6).
