Malachi
King James Version (KJV)


“And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:3 I hated - I loved not Esau's posterity as I loved Jacob's. His heritage - Mount Seir with the neighbouring mountains. Waste - By Nebuchadnezzar's arms five years after the sacking of Jerusalem, and whereas Jacob's captivity returned, and their cities were rebuilt, Esau's never were. The dragons - Creatures which delight in desolate places, by which the utter desolation of Esau is signified.
And I hated Esau, and layde his mountaines, and his heritage waste, for the dragons of the wildernesse.
