17 But on Mount Zion a remnant will be saved;
    it will be holy,
and the house of Jacob will take possession
    of those who dispossessed them.
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a fire,
    and the house of Joseph a flame.
The house of Esau will be stubble;
    it will be set afire and consumed,
and no one of the house of Esau will survive,
    for the Lord has spoken.
19 My people from the Negeb[a]
    will occupy the mount of Esau,
and people from the lowlands
    will occupy the foothills
    of the land of the Philistines.
They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria,
    and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
