⁴ Though Edom says , "We have been beaten down , but we will [1] return and build up the ruins "; thus says the Lord of hosts , "They may build , but I will tear down ; and men will call them the [2]wicked territory , and the people [3]toward whom the Lord is indignant forever e ."

⁴ If Edom say, We are broken down, but we will build again the ruined places,—thus saith Jehovah of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down; and [men] shall call them the territory of wickedness, and the people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever.
