Malachi 1:2-4
American Standard Version
2 I have loved you, saith Jehovah. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? [a]Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith Jehovah: yet I loved Jacob; 3 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness. 4 [b]Whereas Edom saith, We are [c]beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and men shall call them The border of wickedness, and The people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever.
