Malachi 1:3-5

3but I have hated Esau, and I have 1made his mountains a desolation and appointed his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness.” 4Though Edom says, “We have been 2beaten down, but we will 34return and build up the ruins”; thus says the Lord of hosts, “They may 5build, but I will tear down; and men will call them the 6wicked territory, and the people 7toward whom the Lord is indignant 8forever.” 5Your eyes will see this and you will say, “9The Lord 10be magnified beyond the 11border of Israel!”
