Obadiah 15-17

Revised Standard Version

¹⁵For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
As you have done, it shall be done to you,
    your deeds shall return on your own head.
¹⁶For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain,
    all the nations round about shall drink;
they shall drink, and stagger,^[a]
    and shall be as though they had not been.

Israel’s Final Triumph

¹⁷But in Mount Zion there shall be those that escape,
and it shall be holy;
and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
