15  For ^wthe day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.

^xAs you have done, it shall be done to you;

your deeds shall return on your own head.

16  ^yFor as you have drunk on ^zmy holy mountain,

so all the nations shall drink continually;

they shall drink and swallow,

and shall be as though they had never been.

17  ^aBut in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape,

and it shall be holy,

^band the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.

18  ^cThe house of Jacob shall be a fire,

and the house of Joseph a flame,

and the house of Esau ^dstubble;

they shall burn them and consume them,

^eand there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau,

for the Lord has spoken.

19  Those of ^fthe Negeb ^bshall possess ^gMount Esau,

and those of the Shephelah shall possess ^hthe land of the Philistines;

they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of ⁱSamaria,

and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

20  The exiles of this host of the people of Israel

shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as ^jZarephath,

and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad

shall possess the cities of the Negeb.

21  ^kSaviors shall go up to Mount Zion

to rule ^gMount Esau,

and ^lthe kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
