Obadiah 15-18

New Century Version

¹⁵ “The Lord’s day of judging is coming soon
    to all the nations.
The same evil things you did to other people
    will happen to you;
    they will come back upon your own head.
¹⁶ Because you drank in my Temple,
    all the nations will drink on and on.
They will drink and drink
    until they disappear.
¹⁷ But on Mount Zion some will escape the judgment,
    and it will be a holy place.
The people of Jacob will take back their land
    from those who took it from them.
¹⁸ The people of Jacob will be like a fire
    and the people of Joseph^[a] like a flame.
But the people of Esau^[b] will be like dry stalks.
    The people of Jacob will set them on fire and burn them up.
There will be no one left of the people of Esau.”
This will happen because the Lord has said it.
