Malachi 1:3-5

New Century Version

³ but I hated Esau. I destroyed his mountain country and left his land to the wild dogs of the desert.”

⁴ The people of Edom might say, “We were destroyed, but we will go back and rebuild the ruins.”

But the Lord All-Powerful says, “If they rebuild them, I will destroy them. People will say, ‘Edom is a wicked country. The Lord is always angry with the Edomites.’ ⁵ You will see these things with your own eyes. And you will say, ‘The Lord is great, even outside the borders of Israel!’”
