Malachi 1:3

An Oracle Against Edom

² You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me, ³ And Esau was hated, and I sent destruction on his mountains, and gave his heritage to the beasts of the waste land. ⁴ Though Edom says, We are crushed down but we will come back, building up the waste places; this is what the Lord of armies has said: They may put up buildings, but I will have them pulled down; and they will be named The land of evil-doing, and The people against whom the Lord keeps his wrath for ever.
