Malachi:1:2-5

*
I have loved you ,
says the LORD .
Yet all of you say ,
Wherein have you loved us ?
Was not Esau Jacob '
s brother ?
says 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 says ,
We are impoverished ,
but we will return and build the desolate places ;
thus says 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 has indignation for ever .
*
And your eyes shall see ,
and all of you shall say ,
The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel .
