Malachi 1:1-5 - I Loved Jacob, But Esau I Hated

1 The oracle of the word of Yahweh, unto Israel, - by the hand of Malachi.

2 I have loved you, saith Yahweh, and yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Is not Esau, brother, to Jacob? enquireth Yahweh, Yet have I loved Jacob, 3 And, Esau, have I hated, - and made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance a dwelling for the jackals of the wilderness.

4 Whereas Edom, may say, We are laid waste, but we will again build the desolate places, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, They, may build, but, I, will pull down, - and men shall call them, The Boundary of Lawlessness, and, The people with whom Yahweh hath indignation unto times age-abiding; 5 And, your own eyes, shall see, - and, ye yourselves, shall say, Yahweh, be magnified, beyond the boundary of Israel.
