Malachi 1:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

You Jews who are now returned from captivity, and are blest with a rebuilt temple and city, who are settled in civil and sacred concerns, your eyes shall see; some of you must needs, more will, and all might, observe what I have said, that my love is toward you, whom I plant, build up, and prosper, while I root up, pull down, and destroy your neighbouring kindred Edom. Ye shall say; you should in point of duty, and some of you will take notice of it, and confess it. The Lord will be magnified; or, Let the Lord be magnified, let his name be great and his praise great for his free love to Israel, for his great displeasure against the border of wickedness, for his truth in both. From the border of Israel; let Israel from all his borders give God this praise.
