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.

And now to us the men of pride seem happy; yes, the evil-doers are doing well; they put God to the test and are safe.
