Obadiah 15-18
World English Bible
15 For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head. 16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been. 17 But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions. 18 The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau.” Indeed, Yahweh has spoken.

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.
