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.

19 Then those of the 1Negev will apossess the mountain of Esau,

And those of the 2Shephelah the bPhilistine plain;

Also, cpossess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,

And Benjamin will possess Gilead.

20 And the exiles of this host of the sons of Israel,

Who are among the Canaanites as far as aZarephath,

And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad

Will possess the bcities of the Negev.

21 The adeliverers will ascend Mount Zion

To judge the mountain of Esau,

And the bkingdom will be the Lord’s.
