Obadiah 15-17
Easy-to-Read Version
15 The Day of the Lord is coming soon
to all the nations.
And the evil you did to others will happen to you.
The same bad things will fall down on your own head.
16 You spilled[a] blood on my holy mountain,[b]
so other nations will spill your blood.[c]
You will be finished.
It will be as if you never existed.
17 But there will be survivors on Mount Zion.
They will be my special people.
The nation of Jacob[d] will take back
what belongs to it.
