New Testament

Obadiah 1:16-21 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

16. As you drank upon my holy mountain,so will all the nations drink continually.Yes, they will drink and swallow,and will become as though they had not been.

17. But on Mount Zion there will be some who escape;the mountain will be holy,And the house of Jacob will take possessionof those who dispossessed them.

18. The house of Jacob will be a fire,the house of Joseph a flame,and the house of Esau stubble.They will set it ablaze and devour it;none will survive of the house of Esau,for the Lord has spoken.

19. They will take possession of the Negeb, Mount Esau, the Shephelah, and Philistia, possess the countryside of Ephraim, the countryside of Samaria, Benjamin, and Gilead.

20. The exiles of this Israelite army will possess the Canaanite land as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negeb.

21. And deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingship shall be the Lord’s.
