The prophet shows in "I have lovedª ° you, saith² °¹ the LORD.ª Yet ye say,ª ° Wherein¹ hast thou lovedª ° us? [Was] not¹ Esauª Jacob'sª brother?ª saith² °¹ the LORD:ª yet I lovedª °¹ Jacob,ª ... And your eyesª shall see,ª ° and ye¹ shall say,ª ° The LORDª will be magnifiedª ° from¹ ¹ the borderª of Israel.ª" {Mal 1:2-5} how much Jacob and the Israelites were favoured by Jehovah, more than Esau and the Edomites. Through every period of the history of Jacob's posterity, they could not deny that God had remarkably appeared on their behalf; but he had rendered the heritage of Esau's descendants, by wars and various other means, barren and waste forever.

Butterª of kine,ª and milkª of sheep,ª with¹ fatª of lambs,ª and ramsª of the breedª of Bashan,ª and goats,ª with¹ the fatª of kidneysª of wheat;ª and thou didst drinkª ° the pureª bloodª of the grape.ª" {Deu 32:8-14} + "But thou,¹ Israel,ª [art] my servant,ª Jacobª whom¹ I have chosen,ª ° the seedª of Abrahamª my friend.ª ° ... [Thou] whom¹ I have takenª ° from the endsª ¹ of the earth,ª and calledª ° thee from the chief menª ¹ thereof, and saidª ° unto thee, Thou¹ [art] my servant;ª I have chosenª ° thee, and not¹ cast thee away.ª °" {Isa 41:8-9} + "Since¹ ¹ thou wast preciousª ° in my sight,ª thou hast been honourable,ª ° and I¹ have lovedª ° thee: therefore will I giveª ° menª for¹ thee, and peopleª for¹ thy life.ª" {Isa 43:4} + "The LORDª hath appearedª ° of oldª ¹ unto me, [saying], Yea, I have lovedª ° thee with an everlastingª love:ª therefore¹ ¹ with lovingkindnessª have I drawnª ° thee." {Jer 31:3} + "As concerningª ª the¹ gospel,ª [they are] enemiesª for your sakes:ª ª butª as touchingª the¹ election,ª [they are] belovedª for² ° the fathers'² sakes.ª ¹ ¹ ...

When ye say,ª ° Every one¹ that doethª ° evilª [is] goodª in the sightª of the LORD,ª and he¹ delightethª ° in them; or,¹ Where¹ [is] the Godª of judgment?ª" {Mal 2:17} + "Even from the daysª ¹ of your fathersª ye are gone awayª ° from mine ordinances,ª ¹ and have not¹ keptª ° [them].
