¹⁸ Jacob will be a fire
    and Joseph a flame;
Esau will be stubble,
    and they will set him on fire^(A) and destroy^(B) him.
There will be no survivors^(C)
    from Esau.”
The Lord has spoken.

¹⁷ The Light of Israel will become a fire,^(A)
    their Holy One^(B) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
    his thorns^(C) and his briers.^(D)

⁸ The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
    in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,^(A)
    like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles^(B) as it goes,
    and no one can rescue.^(C)

²⁴ Therefore, as tongues of fire^(A) lick up straw^(B)
    and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay^(C)
    and their flowers blow away like dust;^(D)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
    and spurned the word^(E) of the Holy One^(F) of Israel.

¹⁰ They will be entangled among thorns^(A)
    and drunk^(B) from their wine;
    they will be consumed like dry stubble.^[a](C)

¹⁶ Just as you drank^(A) on my holy hill,^(B)
    so all the nations will drink^(C) continually;
they will drink and drink
    and be as if they had never been.^(D)

⁹ Your warriors, Teman,^(A) will be terrified,
    and everyone in Esau’s mountains
    will be cut down in the slaughter.
¹⁰ Because of the violence^(B) against your brother Jacob,^(C)
    you will be covered with shame;
    you will be destroyed forever.^(D)
