Edom’s Violence Against Jacob

10 ⁱBecause of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
^jand you shall be cut off forever.
11 ^kOn the day that you stood aloof,
^lon the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
^mand cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 ⁿBut do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
^odo not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
^pdo not boast ^{▼▼Hebrew do not enlarge your mouth}
in the day of distress.
13 ^rDo not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
^sdo not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
^tdo not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
14 ^uDo not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.

Malachi 1:2-4

The Lord’s Love for Israel

2 ^v“I have loved you,” says the Lord. ^wBut you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau ^xJacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet ^yI have loved Jacob 3 but Esau I have hated. ^zI have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.” 4 If Edom says, “We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,” the Lord of hosts says, “They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called ‘the wicked country,’ and ‘the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.’”
