1 Oracle, parole de l’Éternel à Israël par Malachie.

2 Je vous ai aimés, dit l’Éternel. Et vous dites: En quoi nous as-tu aimés? Ésaü n’est-il pas frère de Jacob? Dit l’Éternel. Cependant j’ai aimé Jacob,

3 Et j’ai eu de la haine pour Ésaü, J’ai fait de ses montagnes une solitude, J’ai livré son héritage aux chacals du désert.

4 Si Édom dit: Nous sommes détruits, Nous relèverons les ruines! Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Qu’ils bâtissent, je renverserai, Et on les appellera pays de la méchanceté, Peuple contre lequel l’Éternel est irrité pour toujours.

5 Vos yeux le verront, Et vous direz: Grand est l’Éternel Par delà les frontières d’Israël!
