¹⁵“For the day of Yahweh is near against all the nations! Just as you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return on your own head. ¹⁶For just as you have drunk on my holy mountain,^o all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and they will slurp, and they will be as if they had never been. ¹⁷But on Mount Zion there will be an escape, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take possession of their dispossessors. ¹⁸And the house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; and they will set them on fire and will consume them. And there will not be a survivor for the house of Esau,” for Yahweh has spoken.

And the kingdom will belong to^r Yahweh.
