God Warns His People through a Prophet

Scripture:Malachi 1:1-5(NASB)
1The oracle of the word of the LORDto Israel through Malachi. 2″I have loved you,” says the LORD. But you say, “How have You loved us?” “Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the LORD. “Yet I have loved Jacob; 3but I have hatedEsau, and I have made his mountains a desolation and appointed his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness.” 4Though Edom says, “We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins”; thus says the LORDof hosts, “They may build, butI will tear down; and men will call them the wicked territory, and the people toward whom the LORDis indignant forever.” 5Your eyes will see this and you will say, “The LORDbe magnified beyond the border of Israel.”
