10 “Because of violence to your brother Jacob,
You will be covered with shame,
And you will be cut off forever.
11 On the day that you stood aloof,
On the day that strangers took his wealth captive
And foreigners entered his gate
And cast lots for Jerusalem—
You too were as one of them.
12 Now do not look on your brother’s day with triumph,
The day of his misfortune.
And do not be glad over the sons of Judah
In the day when they perish;
And do not let your mouth speak great things
In the day of their distress.
13 Do not enter the gate of My people
In the day of their disaster.
Indeed, you, do not look on their calamity with triumph
In the day of their disaster.
And do not send out for their wealth
In the day of their disaster.
14 Do not stand at the fork of the road
To cut down those among them who escape;
And do not deliver over their survivors
In the day of their distress.
The Day of Yahweh Is Near
15 “For the day of Yahweh draws near on all the nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you.
Your dealings will return on your own head.
16 Because just as you all drank on My holy mountain,
All the nations will drink continually.
They will drink and swallow,
And they will be as if they never were.
17 But on Mount Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a fire
And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be as stubble.
And they will set them on fire and consume them
So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau,”
For Yahweh has spoken.
The Kingdom of Yahweh
19 Then those of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau,
And those of the Shephelah, the Philistine plain;
And they will possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,
And Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 And the exiles of this military force of the sons of Israel,
Who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath,
And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad,
Will possess the cities of the Negev.
21 And the saviors will ascend Mount Zion
To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the kingdom will belong to Yahweh.
