Malachi 1:2 WEB

¹  An oracle: the word of Yahweh to Israel by Malachi.

²  'I have loved you,' says Yahweh. Yet you say, 'How have you loved us?' 'Wasn't Esau Jacob's brother?' says Yahweh, 'Yet I loved Jacob;

³  but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.'

⁴  Whereas Edom says, 'We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places;' thus says Yahweh of Hosts, 'They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them 'The Wicked Land,' even the people against whom Yahweh shows wrath forever.'
