The Lord's Love Questioned
1
The burden of the word of Jehovah to Israel by Malachi.
2
I have loved you, saith Jehovah. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith Jehovah: yet I loved Jacob;
3
but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.
4
Whereas Edom saith, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and men shall call them The border of wickedness, and The people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever.
5
And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, Jehovah be magnified beyond the border of Israel.
