¹⁵ "For the day of the LORD draws near on all the nations As you have done, it will be done to you Your dealings will return on your own head. ¹⁶ "Because just as you drank on My holy mountain, All the nations will drink continually. They will drink and swallow And become as if they had never existed. ¹⁷ "But on Mount Zion there will be those who escape, And it will be holy And the house of Jacob will possess their possessions. ¹⁸ "Then the house of Jacob will be a fire And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau will be as stubble And they will set them on fire and consume them, So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau," For the LORD has spoken. ¹⁹ Then those of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau, And those of the Shephelah the Philistine plain; Also, possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria, And Benjamin will possess Gilead. ²⁰ And the exiles of this host of the sons of Israel, Who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad Will possess the cities of the Negev. ²¹ The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion To judge the mountain of Esau, And the kingdom will be the LORD'S.
