16 Just as you have drunk from the cup of my wrath[a] upon my holy mountain,
    so will all nations drink from the cup of my wrath[b] perpetually.
They will drink, they will gulp it down,
    and they will be as if they had never existed!

17 “But there will be a delivered remnant on Mount Zion.
    There will be holiness,
        and the house of Jacob will take back their possessions.

18 “The house of Jacob will be a fire,
and the house of Joseph a flame,
    but the house of Esau will be kindling.
Then Jacob and Joseph[c] will burn and consume Esau,[d]
    and no survivor will remain from the house of Esau.”
Indeed, the Lord has spoken it.
