Obadiah 16-18
Contemporary English Version

16 I forced the people of Judah[a]
to drink the wine of my anger
    on my sacred mountain.
Soon the neighboring nations
must drink their fill—
    then vanish without a trace.

Victory for Israel

17 The Lord's people who escape
will go to Mount Zion,
    and it will be holy.
Then Jacob's descendants
will capture the land of those
    who took their land.
18 Israel[b] will be a fire,
and Edom will be straw
    going up in flames.
The Lord has spoken!
