Obadiah 17-19
Expanded Bible

17 But on Mount Zion ·some will escape the judgment [L there will be escape],
    and it will be a holy place.
The ·people [L house] of Jacob will ·take back their land
    from those who ·took it from them [L possess their possessions].
18 The ·people [L house] of Jacob will be like a fire
    and the ·people [L house] of Joseph [C the Israelite tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh (Joseph’s sons, Jacob’s grandsons), representing the northern kingdom] like a flame.
But the ·people [L house] of Esau [C the Edomites] will be like ·dry stalks [stubble].
    The ·people [L house] of Jacob will set them on fire and burn them up.
There will be no ·one left [survivors] of the ·people [L house] of Esau.”
    ·This will happen because [L For] the Lord has said it.

19 ·Then God’s people will regain southern Judah from Edom;
    they will take back [L The Negev shall possess] the mountains of ·Edom [L Esau].
·They will take back the western hills
    from [L The Shephelah/foothills shall possess] the Philistines.
They will ·regain [possess] the ·lands [L fields] of Ephraim and Samaria,
    and Benjamin will ·take over [possess] Gilead [C east of the Jordan River].
