Obadiah 17-19
Evangelical Heritage Version
17 But on Mount Zion, there will be some who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will recapture its territory. 18 The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, but the house of Esau will be stubble. The Israelites[a] set them on fire and consume them. There will not be any survivors for the house of Esau.
Yes, the Lord has spoken.
19 People from the Negev[b] will take possession of the mountains of Esau, and those from the Shephelah[c] will take possession of the land of the Philistines. They will take possession of the territory[d] of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria. Benjamin will take possession of Gilead.
