Malachi 1:2-3

New King James Version

² “I^(A) 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 ^(B)Jacob I have loved;
³ But Esau I have hated,
And ^(C)laid waste his mountains and his heritage
For the jackals of the wilderness.”
