Malachi 1:3
Malachi 1:2-3 The Message (MSG)
GOD said, “I love you.” You replied, “Really? How have you loved us?” “Look at history” (this is GOD’s answer). “Look at how differently I’ve treated you, Jacob, from Esau: I loved Jacob and hated Esau. I reduced pretentious Esau to a molehill, turned his whole country into a ghost town.”
