* Nevertheless, a century after Nabonidus’ invasion of the land, confident Edom still hoped to make a comeback, and concerning it, Malachi 1:4 reports: “Because Edom keeps saying, ‘We have been shattered, but we shall return and build the devastated places,’ this is what Jehovah of armies has said, ‘They, for their part, will build; but I, for my part, shall tear down.’”
* Gayunman, isandaang taon matapos salakayin ni Nabonido ang lupain, umasa pa rin ang nagtitiwalang Edom na siya’y makakabawi, at tungkol dito, ang Malakias 1:4 ay nag-uulat: “Yamang iginigiit ng Edom, ‘Tayo’y nawasak, ngunit tayo’y magbabalik upang itayo ang mga sirang dako,’ ganito ang sinabi ni Jehova ng mga hukbo, ‘Sila ay magtatayo; ngunit ako ay magbabagsak.’jw2019 jw2019
