17 “But on Mount (A)Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will (B)possess their possessions.
18 “Then the house of Jacob will be a (C)fire
And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be as stubble.
And they will set [a]them on fire and consume [b]them,
So that there will be (D)no survivor of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.
19 Then those of the [c]Negev will (E)possess the mountain of Esau,
And those of the [d]Shephelah the (F)Philistine plain;
Also, (G)possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,
And Benjamin will possess Gilead.
