Obadiah 17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷ “But Jerusalem^[a] will become a refuge for those who escape;
    it will be a holy place.
And the people of Israel^[b] will come back
    to reclaim their inheritance.
¹⁸ The people of Israel will be a raging fire,
    and Edom a field of dry stubble.
The descendants of Joseph will be a flame
    roaring across the field, devouring everything.
There will be no survivors in Edom.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

¹⁹ “Then my people living in the Negev
    will occupy the mountains of Edom.
Those living in the foothills of Judah^[c]
    will possess the Philistine plains
    and take over the fields of Ephraim and Samaria.
And the people of Benjamin
    will occupy the land of Gilead.
