KJV - Malachi 1:4
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.
While Edom says they are poor and will rebuild the empty areas, the Lord says they'll build, but He will destroy. They'll be called "the border of wickedness" and "the people God is always angry with."
