Obadiah 1:17-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

17. But there will be a deliverance on Mount Zion, and it will be holy; the house of Jacob will dispossess those who dispossessed them.

18. Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire, and the house of Joseph, a burning flame,but the house of Esau will be stubble;Jacob will set them on fire and consume Edom. Therefore no survivor will remain of the house of Esau,for the Lord has spoken.

19. People from the Negev will possess the hill country of Esau; those from the Judean foothills will possessthe land of the Philistines. They will possessthe territories of Ephraim and Samaria, while Benjamin will possess Gilead.

20. The exiles of the Israelites who are in Halah and who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath as well as the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharadwill possess the cities of the Negev.

21. Saviors will ascend Mount Zion to rule over the hill country of Esau,but the kingdom will be the Lord’s.
