Word Against Elam
34 That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:
35 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
‘Behold, I am going to break the bow of Elam,
The finest of their might.
36 I will bring upon Elam the four winds
From the four ends of heaven,
And I will scatter them to all these winds;
And there will be no nation
To which the banished ones of Elam will not go.
37 So I will shatter Elam before their enemies
And before those who seek their lives;
And I will bring calamity upon them,
Even My burning anger,’ declares Yahweh,
‘And I will send out the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 Then I will set My throne in Elam
And cause king and princes from there to perish,’
Declares Yahweh.
39 ‘But it will be in the last days
That I will return the fortunes of Elam,’”
Declares Yahweh.
