17 But in Mount Zion some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage. 18 And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it. 19 And they will take the South, and the lowland, and the country of Ephraim, and Gilead, as their heritage.
