Obadiah 16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 For as ye have [a]drunk upon mine holy Mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually: yea, they shall drink and swallow up, and they shall be [b]as though they had not been.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions,
18 And the house of Jacob shall be [c]a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau as stubble, and they shall kindle in them and devour them: and there shall be no remnant of the house of Esau: for the Lord hath spoken it.
