1:2 Yahweh’s love for the Israelis
2 “I have loved you all,” says Yahweh, but you say, “How have you shown your love for us?”
“Wasn’t Esaw Yacob’s brother?” declares Yahweh. “Yet I’ve loved Yacob[ref] 3 and rejected Esaw. I’ve turned the hills where Esaw lived into a wasteland and given his inheritance to the wild jackals.”
4 If Esaw’s descendants in Edom say, “We’ve been crushed, but we’ll return and rebuild what was destroyed,” then army-commander Yahweh will say, “They might build, but I will tear down. Others will call them ‘The country of wickedness’ and ‘The people who Yahweh is forever angry with.’
5 Your own eyes will see it, and you’ll say, ‘Yahweh is great even outside Israel’s borders.’ ”
