Obadiah 1:15-21

15“For the 1day of the Lord draws near on all the nations. 2As you have done, it will be done to you. Your 3dealings will return on your own head.16Because just as you 4drank on 5My holy mountain, All the nations 6will drink continually. They will drink and 7swallow And become as if they had never existed.17But on Mount 8Zion there will be those who escape, And it will be holy. And the house of Jacob will 9possess their possessions.18Then the house of Jacob will be a 10fire And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau will be as stubble. And they will set 11them on fire and consume 12them, So that there will be 13no survivor of the house of Esau,” For the Lord has spoken.19Then those of the 14Negev will 15possess the mountain of Esau, And those of the 16Shephelah the 17Philistine plain; Also, 18possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria, And Benjamin will possess Gilead.20And the exiles of this host of the sons of Israel, Who are among the Canaanites as far as 19Zarephath, And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad Will possess the 20cities of the Negev.21The 21deliverers will ascend Mount Zion To judge the mountain of Esau, And the 22kingdom will be the Lord’s.
