Obadiah 15–21

¹⁵For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.

As you have done, it shall be done to you,

your deeds shall return on your own head.

¹⁶For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain,

all the nations round about shall drink;

they shall drink, and stagger,

and shall be as though they had not been.

¹⁷But in Mount Zion there shall be those that escape,

and it shall be holy;

and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.

¹⁸The house of Jacob shall be a fire,

and the house of Joseph a flame,

and the house of Esau stubble;

they shall burn them and consume them,

and there shall be no survivor to the house of Esau; for the Lord has spoken.

¹⁹Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau,

and those of the Shephelah the land of the Philistines;

they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria

and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

²⁰The exiles in Halah who are of the people of Israel

shall possess Phoenicia as far as Zarephath;

and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad

shall possess the cities of the Negeb.

²¹Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion

to rule Mount Esau;

and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
