Malachi 1:3

3 But Esau I have hated, And laid waste his mountains and his heritage For the jackals of the wilderness."

Malachi 1:3 In-Context

1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.
2 "I have loved you," says the Lord. "Yet you say, 'In what way have You loved us?' Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" Says the Lord. "Yet Jacob I have loved;
3 But Esau I have hated, And laid waste his mountains and his heritage For the jackals of the wilderness."
4 Even though Edom has said, "We have been impoverished, But we will return and build the desolate places," Thus says the Lord of hosts: "They may build, but I will throw down; They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness, And the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever.
5 Your eyes shall see, And you shall say, 'The Lord is magnified beyond the border of Israel.'
