Malachi 1:2-5

²“I have loved you,” says the LORD. But you ask, “How have You loved us?” “Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the LORD. “Yet Jacob I have loved,

³but Esau I have hated, and I have made his mountains a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.”

⁴Though Edom may say, “We have been devastated, but we will rebuild the ruins,” this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Land of Wickedness, and a people with whom the LORD is indignant forever.

⁵You will see this with your own eyes, and you yourselves will say, ‘The LORD is great — even beyond the borders of Israel.’”
