Context
1Ujumbe: Neno la Bwana kwa Israeli kupitia kwa Malaki. 2Bwana asema, “Nimewapenda ninyi.”
“Lakini ninyi mnauliza, ‘Wewe umetupendaje?’ ”
Bwana asema, “Je, Esau hakuwa ndugu yake Yakobo? Hata hivyo nimempenda Yakobo, 3lakini nikamchukia Esau, nami nimeifanya milima yake kuwa ukiwa, na urithi wake nimewapa mbweha wa jangwani.” 4Edomu anaweza kusema, “Ingawa tumepondapondwa, tutajenga upya magofu.”
Lakini hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote asemalo: “Wanaweza kujenga, lakini nitabomoa. Wataitwa Nchi Ovu, watu ambao siku zote wapo chini ya ghadhabu ya Bwana. 5Mtayaona kwa macho yenu wenyewe na kusema, ‘Bwana ni mkuu, hata nje ya mipaka ya Israeli!’
