Ezekiel 35:13
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me,.... Or, "magnified against me" {a}; spoke great swelling words of vanity, or had a mouth opened to speak great things and blasphemy against God, as antichrist is said to do, Revelation 13:5, what is spoken against the Lord's people is taken by him as spoken against himself:
and have multiplied your words against me; not in prayer, by deprecations or supplications, as the word {b} used sometimes signifies; but in reproaches and calumnies, vilifying expressions and hard speeches, against his people, in great numbers; which is all one as if they were directed against him:
I have heard them; these the Lord takes notice of, and will call to an account for, either here or hereafter; see Jude 1:15.
