17“But on Mount Zion there will be those who escape,

And it will be holy.

And the house of Jacob will possess their property.

18“Then the house of Jacob will be a fire,

And the house of Joseph a flame;

But the house of Esau will be like stubble.

And they will set them on fire and consume them,

So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau,”

For the Lord has spoken.

19Then those of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau,

And those of the Shephelah the Philistine plain;

Also, they will possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,

And Benjamin the territory of Gilead.

20And the exiles of this army 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.

21The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion

To judge the mountain of Esau,

And the kingdom will be the Lord’s.
