Obadiah 15-18

Modern English Version

¹⁵ For 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.
¹⁶ For as you have drunk on My holy mountain,
    all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow
    and shall be as though they had never been.
¹⁷ But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance,
    and it shall be holy;
and the house of Jacob shall possess
    those who dispossessed them.^[a]
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
    the house of Joseph a flame,
but the house of Esau stubble;
    they shall burn them and consume them,
and there shall be no survivors
    from the house of Esau,
    for the Lord has spoken.
