Verse 4
Malachi 1:4
Free Bible Version
4
The people of Edom may be saying: “We have been beaten down, but we will rebuild the ruins.” But this is what the Lord Almighty says, They may try and build, but I will tear down. They will be called a land of wickedness, and the people those who make the Lord angry forever.

English Translation
For when you say, "Edom, we have been devastated, and we will return and rebuild the ruins," thus says the Lord of Hosts: "They will build, but I will tear down, and they will be called the territory of wickedness, and the people against whom the Lord is enraged forever."
