Isaiah 34:10-12
New International Version
10 It will not be quenched(A) night or day;
its smoke will rise forever.(B)
From generation to generation(C) it will lie desolate;(D)
no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl[a](E) and screech owl[b] will possess it;
the great owl[c] and the raven(F) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom(G)
the measuring line of chaos(H)
and the plumb line(I) of desolation.
12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
all her princes(J) will vanish(K) away.

Malachi 1:2-5
New International Version
Israel Doubts God’s Love
2 “I have loved(A) you,” says the Lord.
“But you ask,(B) ‘How have you loved us?’
“Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob,(C) 3 but Esau I have hated,(D) and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland(E) and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.(F)”
4 Edom(G) may say, “Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild(H) the ruins.”
But this is what the Lord Almighty says: “They may build, but I will demolish.(I) They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord.(J) 5 You will see it with your own eyes and say, ‘Great(K) is the Lord—even beyond the borders of Israel!’(L)
Malachi 1:2-5
King James Version
2 I have loved you, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever.
5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The Lord will be magnified from the border of Israel.
