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.
Þat if Idumee seith, We ben distried, but we schulen turne ayen, and bilde tho thingis þat ben distried; þe Lord of oostis seith þese thingis, Þese schulen bilde, and Y schal distrie; and þei schulen be clepid termes of wickidnesse, and a puple to whom þe Lord is wroth, til in to with outen ende.
