Quick answer
A new word from the LORD introduces the oracle against Mount Seir. God turns to judge Edom for its hostility to Israel.
Overview
This formula opens a prophecy against Edom, represented by 'Mount Seir,' its mountainous homeland. Placed between promises to Israel (ch. 34, 36), it shows that restoring God's people involves judging their enemies. Edom's longstanding enmity makes it a fitting object of judgment, illustrating that God defends His covenant people against those who oppose them.
