Malachi 1:4

Context
NET ©

Edom 1  says, “Though we are devastated, we will once again build the ruined places.” So the Lord who rules over all 2  responds, “They indeed may build, but I will overthrow. They will be known as 3  the land of evil, the people with whom the Lord is permanently displeased.

NIV ©

Edom may say, "Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins." But this is what the LORD Almighty says: "They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the LORD.

NASB ©

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."

NLT ©

And Esau’s descendants in Edom may say, "We have been shattered, but we will rebuild the ruins." But this is what the LORD Almighty says: "They may try to rebuild, but I will demolish them again! Their country will be known as ‘The Land of Wickedness,’ and their people will be called ‘The People with Whom the LORD Is Forever Angry.’

When Edom (Esau) said, "We've been knocked down, but we'll get up and start over, good as new," GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies said, "Just try it and see how far you get. When I knock you down, you stay down. People will take one look at you and say, 'Land of Evil!' and 'the GOD-cursed tribe!'

BBE ©

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.

NRSV ©

If Edom says, "We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins," the LORD of hosts says: They may build, but I will tear down, until they are called the wicked country, the people with whom the LORD is angry forever.

NKJV ©

Even though Edom has said, "We have been impoverished, But we will return and build the desolate places," Thus says the LORD of hosts: "They may build, but I will throw down; They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness, And the people against whom the LORD will have indignation forever.


KJV
Whereas Edom
<0123>
saith
<0559> (8799)_,
We are impoverished
<07567> (8795)_,
but we will return
<07725> (8799)
and build
<01129> (8799)
the desolate places
<02723>_;
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
They shall build
<01129> (8799)_,
but I will throw down
<02040> (8799)_;
and they shall call
<07121> (8804)
them, The border
<01366>
of wickedness
<07564>_,
and, The people
<05971>
against whom the LORD
<03068>
hath indignation
<02194> (8804)
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.

Edom 1  says, “Though we are devastated, we will once again build the ruined places.” So the Lord who rules over all 2  responds, “They indeed may build, but I will overthrow. They will be known as 3  the land of evil, the people with whom the Lord is permanently displeased.

NET © Notes

sn Edom, a “brother” nation to Israel, became almost paradigmatic of hostility toward Israel and God (see Num 20:14-21; Deut 2:8; Jer 49:7-22; Ezek 25:12-14; Amos 1:11-12; Obad 10-12).

sn The epithet Lord who rules over all occurs frequently as a divine title throughout Malachi (24 times total). This name (יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, yÿhvah tsÿvaot), traditionally translated “Lord of hosts” (so KJV, NAB, NASB; cf. NIV NLT “Lord Almighty”; NCV, CEV “Lord All-Powerful”), emphasizes the majestic sovereignty of the Lord, an especially important concept in the postexilic world of great human empires and rulers. For a thorough study of the divine title, see T. N. D. Mettinger, In Search of God, 123-57.

tn Heb “and they will call them.” The third person plural subject is indefinite; one could translate, “and people will call them.”
