Malachi 1:3-5
International Children’s Bible
3 but I hated Esau. I destroyed his mountain country. I left his land to the wild dogs of the desert.”
4 The people of Edom might say, “We were destroyed. But we will go back and rebuild the ruins.”
But the Lord of heaven’s armies says, “If they rebuild them, I will destroy them. People will say, ‘Edom is the Wicked Country. The Lord is always angry with the Edomites.’ 5 You will see these things with your own eyes. You will say, ‘The Lord is great, even outside the borders of Israel!’”
