Malachi 1:2-5

An Oracle Against Edom

2 "I have loved you," says Yahweh, but you say, "How have you loved us?" "[Is] Esau not Jacob's brother?" {declares}[a] Yahweh. "I have loved Jacob,
3 but Esau I have hated. I have made his[b] mountain ranges a desolation, and [given] his inheritance to the jackals of [the] desert."
4 If Edom says, "We are shattered, but we will return and rebuild [the] ruins," Yahweh of hosts says this: "They may build, but I will tear down; and they will be called a territory of wickedness, and the people [with] whom Yahweh is angry forever."
5 Your eyes will see [this], and you will say, "Yahweh is great beyond the borders[c] of Israel."
