Holman Christian Standard Bible
Though Edom says: “ We have been devastated, but we will rebuild the ruins,” the LORD of Hosts says this: “ They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called a wicked country and the people the LORD has cursed forever .

New American Standard Bible
Though Edom says, "We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins"; thus says the LORD of hosts, "They may build, but I will tear down; and [men] will call them the wicked territory, and the people toward whom the LORD is indignant forever."

King James Bible
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. International Standard Version
Even though Edom may claim, 'We were crushed, but we will return and rebuild the ruins,' this is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: "They may rebuild, but I'll demolish. People will call them, 'The Wicked Land,' and, 'The People With Whom the LORD is Forever Angry.'

American Standard Version
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.

Young's Literal Translation
Because Edom saith, 'We have been made poor, And we turn back and we build the wastes,' Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: They do build, and I do destroy, And men have called to them, 'O region of wickedness,' 'O people whom Jehovah defied to the age.'Malachi 1:4 • Malachi 1:4 NIV • Malachi 1:4 NLT • Malachi 1:4 ESV • Malachi 1:4 NASB • Malachi 1:4 KJV • Malachi 1:4 Commentaries • Malachi 1:4 Bible Apps • Malachi 1:4 Biblia Paralela • Malachi 1:4 Chinese Bible • Malachi 1:4 French Bible • Malachi 1:4 German Bible
