✦ MADE SIMPLE
Even though Edom says, 'We've been destroyed, but we'll bounce back and rebuild everything,' here's what the LORD Almighty says: 'They can try to build all they want, but I'll tear it right back down. People will call their territory the Land of Evil, the nation that God is permanently done with.'
