15. “For the day of the Lord is approaching for all the nations!Just as you have done, so it will be done to you.You will get exactly what your deeds deserve.
16. For just as you have drunk on my holy mountain,so all the nations will drink continually.They will drink, and they will gulp down;they will be as though they had never been.
17. But on Mount Zion there will be a remnant of those who escape,and it will be a holy place once again.The descendants of Jacob will conquerthose who had conquered them.
18. The descendants of Jacob will be a fire,and the descendants of Joseph a flame.The descendants of Esau will be like stubble.They will burn them up and devour them.There will not be a single survivor of the descendants of Esau!”Indeed, the Lord has spoken it.
19. The people of the Negev will take possession of Esau’s mountain,and the people of the Shephelah will take possession of the land of the Philistines.They will also take possession of the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,and the people of Benjamin will take possession of Gilead.
20. The exiles of this fortress of the people of Israel will take possession of what belongs to the people of Canaan, as far as Zarephath,and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharadwill take possession of the towns of the Negev.
21. Those who have been delivered will go up on Mount Zionin order to rule over Esau’s mountain.Then the Lord will reign as King!
