Malachi 1:3 in Context — Malachi 1

1 Revelação da palavra do SENHOR a Israel, por meio de Malaquias.

2 Eu vos tenho amado,diz o SENHOR; mas vos dizeis: Em que nos amaste? Não era Esaú irmão de Jacó?, diz o SENHOR, todavia amei a Jacó,

3 E odiei a Esaú; e tornei seus montes em desolação, e sua herança para os chacais do deserto.

4 Ainda que Edom diga: Fomos devastados, mas voltaremos a edificar as ruínas; assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Eles edificarão, e eu destruirei; e serão chamados de “território da perversidade” e “povo contra quem o SENHOR está irado para sempre”.

5 E vossos olhos verão, e direis: Seja o SENHOR engrandecido até além do território de Israel!
