¹⁵ For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you, your deeds shall return on your own head. ¹⁶ For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, all the nations round about shall drink; they shall drink, and stagger, and shall be as though they had not been. ¹⁷ But in Mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions. ¹⁸ The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and 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 to the house of Esau; for the LORD has spoken. ¹⁹ Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau, and those of the Shephe'lah the land of the Philistines; they shall possess the land of E'phraim and the land of Sama'ria and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. ²⁰ The exiles in Halah who are of the people of Israel shall possess Phoenicia as far as Zar'ephath; and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sephar'ad shall possess the cities of the Negeb. ²¹ Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.
