Malachi 1:5
From the border of Israel - Let Israel from all his borders give God praise.
3 But Esau I have hated,
And alaid waste his mountains and his heritage
For the jackals of the wilderness.”
And alaid waste his mountains and his heritage
For the jackals of the wilderness.”
4 Even though Edom has said,
“We have been impoverished,
But we will return and build the desolate places,” Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“They may build, but I will athrow down;
They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness,
And the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever.

6 “A son ahonors his father,
And a servant his master.
bIf then I am the Father,

And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?
Says the Lord of hosts
To you priests who despise My name.
cYet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’
And a servant his master.

7 “You offer adefiled food on My altar,
But say,
‘In what way have we defiled You?’
By saying,
b‘The table of the Lord is1 contemptible.’
