Obadiah 16-18
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain,
all the nations around you shall drink;
they shall drink and gulp down,[a]
and shall be as though they had never been.
Israel’s Final Triumph
17 But on Mount Zion there shall be those that escape,
and it shall be holy;
and the house of Jacob shall take possession of those who dispossessed them.
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.
