17 “But there will be a delivered remnant on Mount Zion.
    There will be holiness,
        and the house of Jacob will take back their possessions.

18 “The house of Jacob will be a fire,
and the house of Joseph a flame,
    but the house of Esau will be kindling.
Then Jacob and Joseph[a] will burn and consume Esau,[b]
    and no survivor will remain from the house of Esau.”
Indeed, the Lord has spoken it.

19 “Those in the Negev[c] will possess Esau’s Mountain,
    and those in the Shephelah[d] the Philistines.
They will possess the fields of Ephraim
    and the fields of Samaria,
while Benjamin will possess the territory of[e] Gilead.
