Obadiah 15-18
English Standard Version
The Day of the Lord Is Near
15 For (A)the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
(B)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.
16 (C)For as you have drunk on (D)my holy mountain,
so all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow,
and shall be as though they had never been.
17 (E)But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape,
and it shall be holy,
(F)and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
18 (G)The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
and the house of Joseph a flame,
and the house of Esau (H)stubble;
they shall burn them and consume them,
(I)and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau,
for the Lord has spoken.

Future Judgment of the Nations
15 “For the day of Yahweh is near against all the nations! Just as you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return on your own head. 16 For just as you have drunk on my holy mountain,[a] all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and they will slurp, and they will be as if they had never been. 17 But on Mount Zion there will be an escape, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take possession of their dispossessors. 18 And the house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; and they will set them on fire and will consume them. And there will not be a survivor for the house of Esau,” for Yahweh has spoken.
