Malachi

The Lord declares His love for Israel, contrasting it with His hatred for Esau, and warns of impending judgment on the wicked. He rebukes the priests for offering polluted sacrifices and the people for dealing treacherously with one another and marrying outside of their faith. The Lord hates divorce and the violence that often accompanies it, and He is wearied by the people's words. A day of judgment is coming when the proud and wicked will be destroyed, but those who fear God's name will experience healing and rise with the Sun of righteousness, ultimately triumphing over the wicked.
