Malachi:1:2-5

*
I have loved you ,
saith Jehovah .
But ye say , "
Wherein hast thou loved us ?"
Was not Esau Jacob
s brother ,
saith Jehovah ?
Yet I loved Jacob ,
*
And Esau I hated ;
And I made his mountains a desolation ,
And his inheritance to be habitations of the desert .
*
Although Edom say , "
We are ruined ,
Yet will we build again the desolate places ."
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts :
They may build ,
but I will throw down ;
And men shall call them "
The impious land ,
The people against whom Jehovah hath indignation forever ."
*
And your eyes shall see it ,
and ye shall say , "
Great is Jehovah beyond the borders of Israel !"
