KJV 1900King James Version
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.
