Malachi 1:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² I have loved you, said the LORD. Yet ye say, In what hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? said the LORD; yet I loved Jacob,

³ and I rejected Esau and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

⁴ When Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The province of wickedness and the people against whom the LORD has indignation for ever.
