Malachi 1:2-5 - An Oracle Against Edom

² "I have shown love to you," says the Lord, but you say, "How have you shown love to us?" "Esau was Jacob's brother," the Lord explains, "yet I chose Jacob ³ and rejected Esau. I turned Esau's mountains into a deserted wasteland and gave his territory to the wild jackals."

⁴ Edom says, "Though we are devastated, we will once again build the ruined places." So the Lord who rules over all responds, "They indeed may build, but I will overthrow. They will be known as the land of evil, the people with whom the Lord is permanently displeased. ⁵ Your eyes will see it, and then you will say, 'May the Lord be magnified even beyond the border of Israel!'"
