Obadiah 15-18
New King James Version
15 “For(A) the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;
(B)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your [a]reprisal shall return upon your own head.
16 (C)For as you drank on My holy mountain,
So shall all the nations drink continually;
Yes, they shall drink, and swallow,
And they shall be as though they had never been.
Israel’s Final Triumph
17 “But on Mount Zion there (D)shall be [b]deliverance,
And there shall be holiness;
The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
And the house of Joseph (E)a flame;
But the house of Esau shall be stubble;
They shall kindle them and devour them,
And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.

for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;

so all the nations will drink(E) continually;

There will be no survivors(L)
