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.

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.
