Malachi 1:2-5 - An Oracle Against Edom
2 I have loved you, said Jehovah. You replied: How have you loved us? Was Esau Jacob's brother? Responded Jehovah: Yet I loved Jacob. 3 And yet I hated Esau and his descendants. I devastated Esau's hill country and abandoned his inheritance to the desert jackals.
4 Esau's descendants, the Edomites, say: Our towns have been destroyed, but we will rebuild them. Thus Jehovah (YHWH) will reply: Let them rebuild. I will tear them down again. People will call them the evil country. They are the nation with whom Jehovah has a long lasting anger. 5 The people of Israel will see this with their own eyes. They will say: Jehovah is mighty even outside the land of Israel!
