1:17 Jerusalem would become a refuge for those who escape. A remnant of Judah remained in Jerusalem (see Jer 40:11-12). The Lord’s mountain of refuge sharply contrasts with Edom’s failed cliff fortresses. • their inheritance: The land God gave to Abraham (Gen 12:1-7) would be returned to his descendants in perpetuity. • the people of Israel: This promise of a return for the people of Judah but not for the Edomites was picked up by the prophet Malachi (Mal 1:4-5).
