Whereas Edom saith, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and men shall call them The border of wickedness, and The people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever.

Though Edom says, We are crushed down but we will come back, building up the waste places; this is what the Lord of armies has said: They may put up buildings, but I will have them pulled down; and they will be named The land of evil-doing, and The people against whom the Lord keeps his wrath for ever.

Και εαν ο Εδωμ ειπη, Ημεις εταλαιπωρηθημεν, πλην θελομεν οικοδομησει εκ νεου τους ηρημωμενους τοπους, ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων· Αυτοι θελουσιν οικοδομησει αλλ' εγω θελω καταστρεψει· και θελουσιν ονομασθη, Οριον ανομιας, και, Ο λαος κατα του οποιου ο Κυριος ηγανακτησε διαπαντος.

Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever.
