Obadiah 15-18
Legacy Standard Bible
The Day of Yahweh Is Near
15 “For the (A)day of Yahweh draws near on all the nations.
(B)As you have done, it will be done to you.
Your (C)dealings will return on your own head.
16 Because just as you all (D)drank on (E)My holy mountain,
All the nations (F)will drink continually.
They will drink and [a]swallow,
And they will be as if they never were.
17 But on Mount (G)Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will (H)possess their possessions.
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a (I)fire
And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be as stubble.
And they will set [b]them on fire and consume [c]them
So that there will be (J)no survivor of the house of Esau,”
For Yahweh has spoken.

New International Version
15 “The day of the Lord is near(A)
for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
your deeds(B) will return upon your own head.
16 Just as you drank(C) on my holy hill,(D)
so all the nations will drink(E) continually;
they will drink and drink
and be as if they had never been.(F)
17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;(G)
it will be holy,(H)
and Jacob will possess his inheritance.(I)
18 Jacob will be a fire
and Joseph a flame;
Esau will be stubble,
and they will set him on fire(J) and destroy(K) him.
There will be no survivors(L)
from Esau.”
The Lord has spoken.
