Malachi 1:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ but I hated Esau. I turned Esau’s mountains into a desolate place, and I turned the territory he possessed over to the wild jackals.

⁴ Edom will certainly say, “We have been beaten down, but we will return, and we will rebuild the ruins.”

This is what the Lord of Armies says. They may rebuild, but I will tear it down. Edom will be called a wicked territory, and the Edomites will be called the people whom the Lord has denounced forever. ⁵ Your eyes will see this, and you will say, “The Lord is great—even beyond the border of Israel!”
