Malachi 1:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² I have loved you, says the Lord,
    but you ask, “How have you shown your love?”
³ Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? asks the Lord.
    Even so, I loved Jacob but I hated Esau.
I reduced his hill country into a wasteland
    and made his heritage into a desert for jackals.
⁴ When Edom says, “We have been crushed,
    but we will rebuild the ruins,”
thus says the Lord of hosts:
    They may build, but I will demolish.
They will be called a country of wickedness,
    the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.
