The foes of Judah shall never regain their former position ( Obadiah 1:18 ; Obadiah 1:19 ). swallow down —so as not to leave anything in the cup of calamity; not merely "drink" ( Psalms 75:8 ). be as though they had not been —not a trace left of their national existence ( Job 10:19 ; Psalms 37:36 ; Ezekiel 26:21 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
