Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Though Edom may say, “We have been devastated, but we will rebuild the ruins,” this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Land of Wickedness, and a people with whom the LORD is indignant forever.
World English Bible (WEB)
Whereas Edom says, “We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places;” thus says Yahweh of Armies, “They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them ‘The Wicked Land,’ even the people against whom Yahweh shows wrath forever.”
Strong's King James
Whereas Edom{H123} saith{H559}{(H8799)}, We are impoverished{H7567}{(H8795)}, but we will return{H7725}{(H8799)} and build{H1129}{(H8799)} the desolate places{H2723}; thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, They shall build{H1129}{(H8799)}, but I will throw down{H2040}{(H8799)}; and they shall call{H7121}{(H8804)} them, The border{H1366} of wickedness{H7564}, and, The people{H5971} against whom the LORD{H3068} hath indignation{H2194}{(H8804)} for{H5704} ever{H5769}.
The F.O.G *
(4) 'Yes', Edom (Red Earth) says, 'We've been shattered,
but we will return and rebuild the ruins.'Now *יהוה Yahweh-Tzva'ot answers, "They may build, but I will tear down.
They will be called the border of guilty wickedness,
the people whom יהוה Yahweh has cursed unto the age.
The F.O.G Message *
Young's Literal Translation
Because Edom saith, ‘We have been made poor, And we turn back and we build the wastes,’ Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: They do build, and I do destroy, And men have called to them, ‘O region of wickedness,’ ‘O people whom Jehovah defied to the age.’
