Obadiah 15-18
The Voice
15 The day of the Eternal’s judgment for all the nations is near.
Whatever evil you have done will be done to you;
Your deeds will come crashing back on your head.
16 Eternal One: Just as you drank to the defeat of My people on My holy mountain,
now you and all the nations around you will always drink excessively.
They will be forced to drink and guzzle a mouthful of suffering,
and it will be as if they never existed.
17 But on Mount Zion will be a place of safety.
Some will escape to that holy hill,
And the people of Jacob will conquer and possess
those who conquered and dispossessed them.
18 The people of Jacob will become a fire
and the family of Joseph a flame.
They will ignite and consume the people of Esau as they execute divine punishment
until only dry stubble remains.
No one from the people of Esau will survive the conflagration.
So declares the Eternal One.

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.
