1. The burden of the Devar Hashem to Yisroel by Malachi.
2. I have loved you, saith Hashem. Yet ye say, Wherein hast Thou loved us? Was not Esav Ya'akov's brother? saith Hashem; yet I loved Ya'akov,
3. But I hated Esav, and his mountains and his nachalah I laid waste into wasteland for the jackals of the midbar.
4. Whereas Edom saith, We are dashed to pieces, but we will return and rebuild the ruins; thus saith Hashem Tzva'os: They may build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, Gevul Rishah (territory of wickedness), and the people against whom Hashem hath indignation ad olam (for ever).
5. And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, Hashem is gadol (great) even beyond the Gevul Yisroel.
