17 But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance,
    and it shall be holy;
and the house of Jacob shall possess
    those who dispossessed them.[a]
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
    the house of Joseph a flame,
but the house of Esau stubble;
    they shall burn them and consume them,
and there shall be no survivors
    from the house of Esau,
    for the Lord has spoken.

19 Those of the Negev shall possess
    Mount Esau,
and those of the Shephelah the land
    of the Philistines.
They shall possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria,
    and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
