🔯 Read Malachi 1 🔯

The fall of Edom shows God's love

1 - The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.

2 - I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, 3 - And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

4 - Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.

5 - And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.

6 - A 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 the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
