Jacob was a scoundrel. In fact his name means "cheater" yet God chose him as the heir of salvation. Just like us, we are all cheaters (or worse) yet God has chosen some of us for salvation.

Esau was a fool...I THINK this is why God hated him...
The Bible is full of verses that show a disgust toward fools in general...
Esau traded his birthright to his brother Jacob for a bowl of food...very foolish indeed...I suspect that this was only one example of his foolishness.
