¹⁵ For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head. ¹⁶ For as you have been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never been. ¹⁷ But in Mount Zion some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage. ¹⁸ And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it. ¹⁹ And they will take the South, and the lowland, and the country of Ephraim, and Gilead, as their heritage. ²⁰ And those of the children of Israel who were the first to be taken away as prisoners, will have their heritage among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and those who were taken away from Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will have the towns of the South. ²¹ And those who have been kept safe will come up from Mount Zion to be judges of the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom will be the Lord's.
