The oracle of the word of Yahweh, unto Israel,––by the hand of Malachi.

2 I have loved you, saith Yahweh, and yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Is not Esau, brother, to Jacob? enquireth Yahweh, Yet have I loved Jacob,

3 And, Esau, have I hated,–– and made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance [a dwelling] for the jackals of the wilderness.

4 Whereas Edom, may say, We are laid waste, but we will again build the desolate places, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, They, may build, but, I, will pull down,–– and men shall call them, The Boundary of Lawlessness, and, The people with whom Yahweh hath indignation unto times age–abiding;

5 And, your own eyes, shall see,––and, ye yourselves, shall say, Yahweh, be magnified, beyond the boundary of Israel.
