They will be called the Land of Wickedness, and a people with whom the LORD is indignant forever. 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.’ 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.
