Malachi 1:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 “I have (A)loved you,” says Yahweh. But you say, “How have You loved us?” “Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares Yahweh. “Yet I (B)have loved Jacob; 3 but I have hated Esau, and I have (C)set his mountains to be a desolation and his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness.” 4 Though Edom says, “We have been (D)demolished, but we will [a](E)return and build up the waste places”; thus says Yahweh of hosts, “They may (F)build, but I will pull down; and men will call them a [b]territory of wickedness, and the people [c]toward whom Yahweh is indignant (G)forever.”
