Malachi 1:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ Whereas Edom says, “We are impoverished, but we will rebuild the ruins,” thus says the Lord of Hosts: They may build, but I will tear down. They will be called the Wicked Territory, and the people against whom the Lord has indignation forever. ⁵ Your eyes will see this, and you will say, “Great is the Lord, beyond the border of Israel!”
