Isaiah 9:10
New King James Version
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”
Malachi 1:4
New King James Version
4 Even though Edom has said,
“We have been impoverished,
But we will return and build the desolate places,”

“They may build, but I will (A)throw down;
They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness,
And the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever.
