* I have loved you , so hath said the Lord : yet ye say , Wherein hast thou loved us ? Is not Esau brother to Jacob ? saith the Lord : yet I loved Jacob ; * And Esau I hated ; and I rendered his mountains a desert , and his heritage a dwelling for the monsters of the wilderness . * Should Edom even say , We are impoverished ; but we will return and build the ruined places : thus hath said the Lord of hosts , They may indeed build , but I will surely throw down ; and men shall call them , The territory of wickedness , and , The people against whom the Lord hath indignation to eternity . * And your eyes shall see it ; and ye shall then say , The Lord will be magnified beyond the territory of Israel .
