God’s Word Translation
Obadiah 1:17-20
17“But refugees will live on Mount Zion. It will be holy. The descendants of Jacob will get back their possessions.
18The descendants of Jacob will be like a fire. The descendants of Joseph will be like a flame. But the descendants of Esau will be like straw. They will be burned and destroyed. There will be no one left among the descendants of Esau.” The Lord has spoken.
19“People from the Negev will take possession of Esau’s mountain. People from the foothills will take possession of Philistia. They will take possession of the lands of Ephraim and Samaria, and ⌞the descendants of⌟ Benjamin will take possession of Gilead.
20Exiles from Israel will take possession of Canaan. They will possess land as far as Zarephath. Exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will take possession of the cities in the Negev.
