34
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedeki'ah king of Judah.
35
Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might;
36
and I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven; and I will scatter them to all those winds, and there shall be no nation to which those driven out of Elam shall not come.
37
I will terrify Elam before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; I will bring evil upon them, my fierce anger, says the LORD. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;
38
and I will set my throne in Elam, and destroy their king and princes, says the LORD.
39
"But in the latter days I will restore the fortunes of Elam, says the LORD."
