The Mount of Esau is the mountainous homeland of Edom in the south-east of the Dead Sea, equivalent to Edom's highland stronghold. It is important because Obadiah uses it to speak directly of Edom's pride, power, and coming reversal. First appears in Obad 1:8.1

AI summary: The Mount of Esau functions as concentrated language for Edom itself. Obadiah uses the name to make the nation's mountain security and arrogance vivid, then announces that the same heights will not shield it from judgment. Because the mountain stands for the people, the prophecy becomes intensely geographic and symbolic at once. The cross references present the Mount of Esau as Edom's elevated heartland under prophetic overthrow.1
