Obadiah 16-18
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
16 For as you [Edom] have drunk upon the mountain of My holiness [desecrating it in the wild revelry of the destroyers], so shall all the nations drink continually [in turn, of My wrath]; yes, they shall drink, talk foolishly, and swallow down [the full measure of punishment] and they shall be [destroyed] as though they had not been.(A)
17 But on Mount Zion [in Jerusalem] there shall be deliverance [for those who escape], and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess its [own former] possessions.(B)
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame, but the house of Esau shall be stubble; they shall kindle and burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor of the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken it.(C)

New International Version
16 Just as you drank(A) on my holy hill,(B)
so all the nations will drink(C) continually;
they will drink and drink
and be as if they had never been.(D)
17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;(E)
it will be holy,(F)
and Jacob will possess his inheritance.(G)
18 Jacob will be a fire
and Joseph a flame;
Esau will be stubble,
and they will set him on fire(H) and destroy(I) him.
There will be no survivors(J)
from Esau.”
The Lord has spoken.
