13. You should not march through the gates of my peoplein the day of their disaster,nor gloat over them in their calamityin the day of their disaster,nor seize their wealthin the day of their disaster.
14. You should not wait at the crossroadsto cut down their fugitives,nor hand over their survivorsin the day of their trouble.
15. ‘The day of the Lord is nearfor all nations.As you have done, it will be done to you;your deeds will return upon your own head.
16. Just as you drank on my holy hill,so all the nations will drink continually;they will drink and drinkand be as if they had never been.
17. But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;it will be holy,and Jacob will possess his inheritance.
18. Jacob will be a fireand Joseph a flame;Esau will be stubble,and they will set him on fire and destroy him.There will be no survivorsfrom Esau.’The Lord has spoken.
19. People from the Negev will occupythe mountains of Esau,and people from the foothills will possessthe land of the Philistines.They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria,and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
