Malachi:1:2-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I have loved you ,
says Jehovah .
But you say ,
In what way have You loved us ?
Was not Esau the brother to Jacob ?
Yet Jehovah declares ,
I loved Jacob ,
*
and I have hated Esau and have made his mountains a desolation ,
and his inheritance to be for the jackals of the wilderness .
*
If Edom says ,
We are beaten down ,
but we will return and build the ruined places ;
so says Jehovah of hosts :
They shall build ,
but I will tear down .
And they shall call them the region of wickedness ,
and the people with whom Jehovah is indignant until forever .
*
And your eyes shall see ,
and you shall say ,
Jehovah will be magnified beyond the border of Israel .
