1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
2 I have loved you,
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the jackals of the wilderness.
4 If Edom says, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus says the LORD of hosts,
5 And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, The LORD will be magnified beyond the border of Israel.
6 A son honors his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is my honor? and if I be a master, where is my fear?
