Obadiah 15-18
Lexham English Bible
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.

Obadiah 15-18
New American Standard Bible
The Day of the Lord and the Future
15 “For the (A)day of the Lord is near for all the nations.
(B)Just as you have done, it will be done to you.
Your (C)dealings will return on your own head.
16 For just as you (D)drank on (E)My holy mountain,
All the nations (F)will drink continually.
They will drink [a]to the last drop,
And become as if they had never existed.
17 But on Mount (G)Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will [b](H)possess their [c]property.
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 like stubble.
And they will set [d]them on fire and consume [e]them,
So that there will be (J)no survivor of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.
