Malachi 1:2-5

Malachi 1:2-5 CSB

“I have loved you,”  says the LORD. Yet you ask, “How have you loved us? ” “Wasn’t Esau Jacob’s brother? ”  This is the LORD’s declaration. “Even so, I loved Jacob, but I hated Esau.  I turned his mountains into a wasteland, and gave his inheritance to the desert jackals.”  Though Edom says, “We have been devastated, but we will rebuild  the ruins,” the LORD of Armies says this: “They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called a wicked country  and the people the LORD has cursed  forever.  Your own eyes will see this, and you yourselves will say, ‘The LORD is great, even beyond  the borders of Israel.’
