I love you, says the LORD;
but you say, “How do you love us?”
Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?—oracle of the LORD.
I loved Jacob, but rejected Esau;
I made his mountains a waste,
his heritage a desert for jackals.
If Edom says, “We have been crushed,
but we will rebuild the ruins,”
Thus says the LORD of hosts:
They indeed may build, but I will tear down,
And they shall be called...
Malachi 1:2–5
