Obadiah 18-20

New Living Translation

¹⁸ The people of Israel will be a raging fire,
    and Edom a field of dry stubble.
The descendants of Joseph will be a flame
    roaring across the field, devouring everything.
There will be no survivors in Edom.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

¹⁹ “Then my people living in the Negev
    will occupy the mountains of Edom.
Those living in the foothills of Judah^[a]
    will possess the Philistine plains
    and take over the fields of Ephraim and Samaria.
And the people of Benjamin
    will occupy the land of Gilead.
²⁰ The exiles of Israel will return to their land
    and occupy the Phoenician coast as far north as Zarephath.
The captives from Jerusalem exiled in the north^[b]
    will return home and resettle the towns of the Negev.
