Obadiah 1:10-21

10Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.11On the day you stood aloof while strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.12But you should not gloat in that day, your brother’s day of misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast proudly1 in the day of their distress.13You should not enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster, nor gloat over their affliction in the day of their disaster, nor loot their wealth in the day of their disaster.14Nor should you stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, nor deliver up their survivors in the day of their distress.

15For the Day of the LORD is nearfor all the nations.As you have done, it will be done to you;your recompense will return upon your own head.16For as you drank on My holy mountain,so all the nations will drink continually.They will drink and gulp it down;they will be as if they had never existed.17But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance,and it will be holy,and the house of Jacobwill reclaim their possession.18Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire,and the house of Joseph a burning flame;but the house of Esau will be stubble—Jacob will set it ablaze and consume it.Therefore no survivor will remainfrom the house of Esau.”For the LORD has spoken.19Those from the Negev will possess the mountains of Esau;those from the foothills2 will possess the land of the Philistines.They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria,and Benjamin will possess Gilead.20And the exiles of this host of the Israeliteswill possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath;and the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharadwill possess the cities of the Negev.21The deliverers will ascend3 Mount Zionto rule over the mountains of Esau.
And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
