¹⁷ But on Mount Zion will be a place of safety.
    Some will escape to that holy hill,
And the people of Jacob will conquer and possess
    those who conquered and dispossessed them.
¹⁸ The people of Jacob will become a fire
    and the family of Joseph a flame.
They will ignite and consume the people of Esau as they execute divine punishment
    until only dry stubble remains.
No one from the people of Esau will survive the conflagration.

So declares the Eternal One.

¹⁹ Eternal One: The people from the southern desert^[a] will take over Mount Esau,
        and those from the foothills^[b] will flood into the Philistines’ coastal plain.
    They will possess the fertile lands of Ephraim and Samaria,
        and Benjamin’s people will inhabit Gilead.
