John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 35:13

"And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it." — Ezekiel 35:13 (ASV)

Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me
Or, "magnified against me" ^F1 ; 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 13:5Revelation 13:6) , 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 ^F2 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) .
