2 |I've loved you,| says the LORD. |But you ask, 'How have you loved us?' |Was not Esau Jacob's brother?| declares the LORD, |yet I loved Jacob, 3 rejected Esau, turned his mountains into a wasteland, and gave his inheritance to desert jackals. 4 Even though Edom may claim, 'We were crushed, but we will return and rebuild the ruins,' this is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: |They may rebuild, but I'll demolish. People will call them, 'The Wicked Land,' and, 'The People With Whom the LORD is Forever Angry.' Malachi 1:2-4, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
