Israel Beloved of God
“Yet you say, ‘In what way have You loved us?’
Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?”
Says the Lord.
“Yet bJacob I have loved;
And alaid waste his mountains and his heritage
For the jackals of the wilderness.”
“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.
Polluted Offerings
And a servant his master.
bIf then I am the Father,
Where is My honor?
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?’
