Obadiah 17-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 But there will be a deliverance on Mount Zion,(A)
and it will be holy;(B)
the house of Jacob will dispossess(C)
those who dispossessed them.[a](D)
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire,(E)
and the house of Joseph, a burning flame,
but the house of Esau will be stubble;
Jacob[b] will set them on fire and consume Edom.[c]
Therefore no survivor will remain(F)
of the house of Esau,
for the Lord has spoken.
Future Blessing for Israel
19 People from the Negev will possess(G)
the hill country of Esau;(H)
those from the Judean foothills will possess
the land of the Philistines.(I)
They[d] will possess
the territories of Ephraim and Samaria,(J)
while Benjamin will possess Gilead.
