the house of Joseph a flame,
and the house of Esau stubble;
they shall burn them and consume them,
and there shall be no survivor of the house of Esau,
for the Lord has spoken.(B)
19 Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau,
and those of the Shephelah the land of the Philistines;

and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.(C)

shall possess[b] Phoenicia as far as Zarephath,
and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad

21 Those who have been saved[c] shall go up to Mount Zion
to rule Mount Esau,
and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.(E)
