Obadiah 15-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

15 For the day of the Lord is near against all the nations.
As you have done, it shall be done to you;
    your deeds shall return on your own head.(A)
16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain,
    all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and gulp down[a]
    and shall be as though they had never been.(B)

Israel’s Final Triumph

17 But on Mount Zion there shall be those who escape,
    and it shall be holy,
and the house of Jacob shall take possession of those who dispossessed them.(C)
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
    the house of Joseph a flame,
    and the house of Esau stubble;
they shall burn them and consume them,
    and there shall be no survivor of the house of Esau,
            for the Lord has spoken.(D)

Obadiah 15-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible

Judgment of the Nations

15 For the Day of the Lord(A) is near,
against all the nations.(B)
As you have done,(C) so it will be done to you;
what you deserve will return on your own head.(D)
16 As you have drunk on My holy mountain,(E)
so all the nations will drink continually.(F)
They will drink and gulp down
and be as though they had never been.
17 But there will be a deliverance on Mount Zion,(G)
and it will be holy;(H)
the house of Jacob will dispossess(I)
those who dispossessed them.[a](J)
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire,(K)
and the house of Joseph, a burning flame,
but the house of Esau will be stubble;
Jacob[b] will set them on fire and consume Edom.[c]
Therefore no survivor will remain(L)
of the house of Esau,
for the Lord has spoken.
