Whereas Edom says, "We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places;" thus says the LORD of hosts, "They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them 'The Wicked Land,' even the people against whom the LORD shows wrath forever."

"All nations shall call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land," says the LORD of hosts.

Now we call the proud blessed; indeed, those who work wickedness prosper. They even tempt God and escape.'
