Context of Malachi 1:5
3and I hated Esau; and made his mountains a desolation, and [gave] his inheritance to the jackals of the wilderness. 4If Edom say, We are broken down, but we will build again the ruined places, — thus saith Jehovah of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down; and [men] shall call them the territory of wickedness, and the people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever. And your eyes shall see [it], and ye shall say, Jehovah is magnified beyond the border of Israel. 6A son honoureth [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith Jehovah of hosts unto you, priests, that despise my name. But ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? 7Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of Jehovah is contemptible.

In the first disputation, the prophet states the central truth that God loves Israel (Malachi 1:2). After this, the prophet challenges the people and responds to their objections. He develops this main claim through five additional messages that follow.Read the comment
