Obadiah 15-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 For the day of the Lord is near against all the nations.
As you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.(A)
16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain,
all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and gulp down[a]
and shall be as though they had never been.(B)
Israel’s Final Triumph
17 But on Mount Zion there shall be those who escape,
and it shall be holy,
and the house of Jacob shall take possession of those who dispossessed them.(C)
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
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.(D)
