Malachi 1:2-5

New Century Version NCV

2 The Lord said, "I have loved you." But you ask, "How have you loved us?" The Lord said, "Esau and Jacob were brothers. I loved Jacob,

3 but I hated Esau. I destroyed his mountain country and left his land to the wild dogs of the desert."

4 The people of Edom might say, "We were destroyed, but we will go back and rebuild the ruins." But the Lord All-Powerful says, "If they rebuild them, I will destroy them. People will say, 'Edom is a wicked country. The Lord is always angry with the Edomites.'

5 You will see these things with your own eyes. And you will say, 'The Lord is great, even outside the borders of Israel!'"

New International Version NIV

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 I have loved Jacob,

3 but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.”

4 Edom may say, “Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins.” But this is what the LORD Almighty says: “They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the LORD.

5 You will see it with your own eyes and say, ‘Great is the LORD—even beyond the borders of Israel!’
