Malachias 1:4
But if Edom shall say: We are destroyed, but we will return and build up what hath been destroyed: thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall build up, and I will throw down: and they shall be called the borders of wickedness, and the people with whom the Lord is angry for ever.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Quod si dixerit Idumæa : Destructi sumus, sed revertentes ædificabimus quæ destructa sunt : hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Isti ædificabunt, et ego destruam : et vocabuntur termini impietatis, et populus cui iratus est Dominus usque in æternum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- διότι ἐρεῖ Ἡ Ἰδουμαία κατέστραπται, καὶ ἐπιστρέψωμεν καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσωμεν τὰς ἐρήμους. τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Αὐτοὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν καὶ ἐγὼ καταστρέψω· καὶ ἐπικληθήσεται αὐτοῖς ὅρια ἀνομίας, καὶ λαὸς ἐφ᾽ ὃν παρατέτακται Κύριος ἕως αἰῶνος.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- כִּֽי תֹאמַ֨ר אֱד֜וֹם רֻשַּׁ֗שְׁנוּ וְנָשׁוּב֙ וְנִבְנֶ֣ה חֳרָב֔וֹת כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת הֵ֥מָּה יִבְנ֖וּ וַאֲנִ֣י אֶהֱר֑וֹס וְקָרְא֤וּ לָהֶם֙ גְּב֣וּל רִשְׁעָ֔ה וְהָעָ֛ם אֲשֶׁר זָעַ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה עַד עוֹלָֽם
Haydock's commentary
Down, by the Machabees, who forced the people to receive circumcision, 1 Machabees v. 3. (Calmet)
At that time the Jews were more pious, and glorified God. (Haydock)
Ever. God's gratuitous love appears in his leaving Edom in captivity, and restoring the Jews. (Worthington)
