16. You spilled blood on my holy mountain, so other nations will spill your blood. You will be finished. It will be as if you never existed.
17. But there will be survivors on Mount Zion. They will be my special people. The nation of Jacob will take back what belongs to it.
18. The family of Jacob will be like a fire. The nation of Joseph will be like a flame. But the nation of Esau will be like ashes. The people of Judah will burn Edom, and they will destroy it. Then there will be no survivors in the nation of Esau.” This will happen because the Lord said it would.
