|
34 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, early in the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah:
|
|
35 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
|
35 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "See, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might.
|
|
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
|
36 I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the heavens; I will scatter them to the four winds, and there will not be a nation where Elam's exiles do not go.
|
|
37 And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith Jehovah; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them;
|
37 I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives; I will bring disaster upon them, even my fierce anger," declares the LORD. "I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them.
|
|
38 and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah.
|
38 I will set my throne in Elam and destroy her king and officials," declares the LORD.
|
|
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.
|
39 "Yet I will restore the fortunes of Elam in days to come," declares the LORD.
