Malachi 1:2-5

2“I have 1lovedH157 you,” saysH559 the LordH3068. But you sayH559, “HowH4100 have You lovedH157 us?” “Was EsauH6215 not Jacob’sH3290 brotherH251?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “Yet I 2have lovedH157 JacobH3290; 3but I have hatedH8130 EsauH6215, and I have 3madeH7760 his mountainsH2022 a desolationH8077 and given his inheritanceH5159 to the jackalsH8565 of the wildernessH4057.” 4ThoughH3588 EdomH112 saysH559, “We have been 4beatenH7567 downH7567, but we will 56returnH7725 and buildH1129 upH1129 the ruinsH2723”; thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “They may 7buildH1129, but I will tearH2040 downH2040; and people will callH7121 them the 8territoryH1366 of wickednessH7562, and the peopleH5971 9with whomH834 the LordH3068 isH2194 indignantH2194 10foreverH5704H5769.” 5And your eyesH5869 will seeH7200 this, and you will sayH559, “11The LordH3068 12be exaltedH1431 beyondH4480H5921 the 13borderH1366 of IsraelH3478!”
