God's Severe Response to Israel

God leads with love. I have loved you, he says to an embittered people. In what's their reply? Verse two: How have you loved us? Is not Esau Jacob's brother declares the Lord? And I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated. If Edom says, we are shattered, but we will rebuild the ruins,. The Lord of Hosts says, they may build, but I will tear down. And they will be called the wicked country. Your own eyes shall see this. And you shall say, great is the Lord beyond the border of Israel.
