Malachi 1:2-5
2“I have aloved you,” says the Lord. But you say, “How have You loved us?” “Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I bhave loved Jacob; 3but I have hated Esau, and I have cmade his mountains a desolation and appointed his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness.” 4Though Edom says, “We have been dbeaten down, but we will ▼▼ Or rebuild the ruins
,
freturn and build up the ruins”; thus says the Lord of hosts, “They may gbuild, but I will tear down; and men will call them the ▼▼ Lit border of wickedness
wicked territory, and the people ▼▼ Or whom the Lord has cursed
toward whom the Lord is indignant jforever.” 5Your eyes will see this and you will say, k“The Lord ▼▼ Or will be great
be magnified beyond the ▼▼ Or territory
border of Israel!”
