nsb - Malachi:1:2-5

nsb@Malachi:1:2 @ »I have loved you,« said Jehovah. You replied: »How have you loved us?« »Was Esau Jacob's brother?« Responded Jehovah: »Yet I loved Jacob.

nsb@Malachi:1:3 @ »And yet I hated Esau and his descendants. I devastated Esau's hill country and abandoned his inheritance to the desert jackals.«

nsb@Malachi:1:4 @ Esau's descendants, the Edomites, say: »Our towns have been destroyed, but we will rebuild them.« Thus Jehovah will reply: »Let them rebuild. I will tear them down again. People will call them the evil country. They are the nation with whom Jehovah has a long lasting anger.

nsb@Malachi:1:5 @ The people of Israel will see this with their own eyes. They will say: Jehovah is mighty even outside the land of Israel!«
