Contextual Overview

¹The oracle of the word of Yahweh to Israel by the hand of Malachi. ²"I have loved you," says Yahweh. But you say, "How have You loved us?" "Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares Yahweh. "Yet I have loved Jacob; ³but I have hated Esau, and I have set his mountains to be a desolation and his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness." ⁴Though Edom says, "We have been demolished, but we will return and build up the waste places"; thus says Yahweh of hosts, "They may build, but I will pull down; and men will call them a territory of wickedness, and the people toward whom Yahweh is indignant forever." ⁵And your eyes will see this, and you will say, "Yahweh be magnified beyond the territory of Israel!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And your eyes shall see,.... The destruction of the Edomites, and their fruitless attempts to rebuild their desolate places; and the difference between them and the Israelites, who were returned to their own land, and inherited it, when they could not; and the love of God to the one, and his hatred of the other:

and ye shall say, The Lord will be magnified from the border of Israel; Aben Ezra interprets it, ye that dwelt in the border of Israel shall say, the Lord shall be magnified, or let him be magnified; let greatness and glory be ascribed to him for what he has done: or, as Kimchi, give him praise and greatness because you are dwelling in your border, and their border is desolate; and your border is called the border of Israel, but theirs the border of wickedness; and so the Targum,

"let the glory of the Lord be multiplied, because he hath enlarged the border of Israel;''

and, according to Jarchi, the sense is, he shall show his greatness from our border, to make it known that we are his people: all show and own that God had loved them more than others, and therefore they ought to have honoured and obeyed him, in which they were deficient, and so ungrateful.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And your eyes shall see - Malicious pleasure in looking on at the misery of Judaea and Jerusalem, had been a special sin of Edom: now God would show Judah the fruit of its reversal, and His goodness toward themselves. , “Ye have assurance of His love toward you and providence over you, when ye see that ye are returned to your own land, and can inhabit it, but they cannot do this: but “they build and I throw down,” and ye, therefore, praise and magnify My name for this, and ye shall say, “The Lord shall be magnified on the border of Israel, i. e., His greatness shall be always manifest upon you;” high above and exalted over the border of Israel which shall retain its name, while Edom shall have ceased to be. Wickedness gives its name to Edom’s border, as in Zechariah’s vision it was removed and settled in Babylon Zechariah 5:8, Zechariah 5:11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Malachi 1:5. Your eyes — Ye Israelites shall see, in your succeeding generations, that -

The Lord will be magnified — By his kindness in Israel, and his judgments beyond.
