Obadiah 17-21
New American Standard Bible
17 But on Mount (A)Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will [a](B)possess their [b]property.
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a (C)fire,
And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be like stubble.
And they will set [c]them on fire and consume [d]them,
So that there will be (D)no survivor of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.
19 Then those of the [e]Negev will [f](E)possess the mountain of Esau,
And those of the [g]Shephelah the (F)Philistine plain;
Also, (G)they will [h]possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,
And Benjamin the territory of Gilead.
20 And the exiles of this army of the sons of Israel,
Who are among the Canaanites as far as (H)Zarephath,
And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad,
Will [i]possess the (I)cities of the Negev.
21 [j]The (J)deliverers will ascend Mount Zion
To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the (K)kingdom will be the Lord’s.
