1:17 But on Mount Zion there will be a remnant of those who escape, 1
and it will be a holy place once again.
The descendants 2 of Jacob will conquer 3
those who had conquered them. 4
1:18 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 5 of the descendants of Esau!”
Indeed, the Lord has spoken it.
1:19 The people of the Negev 6 will take possession 7 of Esau’s mountain,
and the people of the Shephelah 8 will take
possession 9 of the land of 10 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 11 of Gilead. 12
1:20 The exiles of this fortress 13 of the people of Israel
will take possession 14 of what belongs to
the people of Canaan, as far as Zarephath, 15
and the exiles of Jerusalem 16 who are in Sepharad 17
will take possession of the towns of the Negev.
1:21 Those who have been delivered 18 will go up on Mount Zion
in order to rule over 19 Esau’s mountain.
Then the Lord will reign as King! 20
