* "
I have loved you ,"
says the LORD .
But you say , "
How hast thou loved us ?" "
Is not Esau Jacob '
s brother ?"
says the LORD . "
Yet I have loved Jacob
*
but I have hated Esau ;
I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert ."
*
If Edom says , "
We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins ,"
the LORD of hosts says , "
They may build ,
but I will tear down ,
till they are called the wicked country ,
the people with whom the LORD is angry for ever ."
*
Your own eyes shall see this ,
and you shall say , "
Great is the LORD ,
beyond the border of Israel !"
