Obadiah 1:16 in Context — Obadiah 1

14 Ne te tiens pas au carrefour pour exterminer ses fuyards, Et ne livre pas ses réchappés au jour de la détresse!

15 Car le jour de l’Éternel est proche, pour toutes les nations; Il te sera fait comme tu as fait, Tes œuvres retomberont sur ta tête.

16 Car, comme vous avez bu sur ma montagne sainte, Ainsi toutes les nations boiront sans cesse; Elles boiront, elles avaleront, Et elles seront comme si elles n’avaient jamais été.

17 Mais le salut sera sur la montagne de Sion, elle sera sainte, Et la maison de Jacob reprendra ses possessions.

18 La maison de Jacob sera un feu, et la maison de Joseph une flamme; Mais la maison d’Ésaü sera du chaume, Qu’elles allumeront et consumeront; Et il ne restera rien de la maison d’Ésaü, Car l’Éternel a parlé.
