*
The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi .
*
I have loved you ,
saith the LORD .
Yet ye say ,
Wherein hast thou loved us ?
Was not Esau Jacob '
s brother ?
saith the LORD :
yet I loved Jacob ,
*
And I hated Esau ,
and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness .
*
Whereas Edom saith ,
We are impoverished ,
but we will return and build the desolate places ;
thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
They shall build ,
but I will throw down ;
and they shall call them ,
The border of wickedness ,
and ,
The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever .
*
And your eyes shall see ,
and ye shall say ,
The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel .
