Obadiah 15–18

The Day of the Lord and the Future

15 “For the aday of the Lord draws near on all the nations.

bAs you have done, it will be done to you.

Your cdealings will return on your own head.

16 “Because just as you adrank on bMy holy mountain,

All the nations cwill drink continually.

They will drink and 1swallow

And become as if they had never existed.

17 “But on Mount aZion there will be those who escape,

And it will be holy.

And the house of Jacob will bpossess their possessions.

18 “Then the house of Jacob will be a afire

And the house of Joseph a flame;

But the house of Esau will be as stubble.

And they will set 1them on fire and consume 1them,

So that there will be bno survivor of the house of Esau,”

For the Lord has spoken.
