2 I have shown love to you,| says the LORD, but you say, |How have you shown love to us?| |Esau was Jacob's brother,| the LORD explains, |yet I chose Jacob 3 and rejected Esau. I turned Esau's mountains into a deserted wasteland and gave his territory to the wild jackals.| 4 Edom says, |Though we are devastated, we will once again build the ruined places.| So the LORD who rules over all responds, |They indeed may build, but I will overthrow. They will be known as the land of evil, the people with whom the LORD is permanently displeased. Malachi 1:2-4, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
