Malachi 1:5

The Pulpit Commentary on Malachi 1:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Your eyes shall see. Jacob is addressed. When you see these proofs of God's love for you, you shall leave off murmuring and be ready to praise God for his goodness and power. The Lord will be magnified; better, the Lord is great; Septuagint, ἐμεγαλύνθη κύριος, "The Lord was magnified."

God makes his greatness known. From (over) the border of Israel. This means either beyond the limits of Israel, i.e. in all the world, or upon Israel, i.e. by the protection which he vouchsafes to Israel.
