¹⁵ The day is coming when I, the LORD, will judge the nations. And, Edom, you will pay in full for what you have done. ¹⁶ I forced the people of Judah to drink the wine of my anger on my sacred mountain. Soon the neighboring nations must drink their fill-- then vanish without a trace. 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 will be a fire, and Edom will be straw going up in flames. The LORD has spoken! ¹⁹ The people of Israel who live in the Southern Desert will take the land of Edom. Those who live in the hills will capture Philistia, Ephraim, and Samaria. And the tribe of Benjamin will conquer Gilead. ²⁰ Those who return from captivity will control Phoenicia as far as Zarephath. Captives from Jerusalem who were taken to Sepharad will capture the towns of the Southern Desert. ²¹ Those the LORD has saved will live on Mount Zion and rule over Edom. Then the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
