Obadiah 17-19
Contemporary English Version

Victory for Israel

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[a] 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.
