Malachi 1:3 Context
1The burden of the word of þe Lord to Israel by Malachi. 2I haue loued you, sayth the Lord: yet yee say, Wherein hast thou loued vs? was not Esau Iacobs brother, sayth the Lord ? yet I loued Iacob, 3And I hated Esau, and layde his mountaines, and his heritage waste, for the dragons of the wildernesse. 4Whereas Edom sayth, Wee are impouerished, but we will returne and build the desolate places; Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, They shal build, but I will throw downe; and they shal call them, The border of wickednesse, & the people against whom the Lord hath indignation for euer. 5And your eyes shall see, and yee shall say; The Lord will be magnified from the border of Israel.
