Jeremiah 49:34-39

34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet regarding Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

35 Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said: Behold, I break the bow of Elam, the foundation of their might.

36 And upon Elam I will bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

37 For I will cause Elam to fear before their enemies and before those that seek their soul; and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, said the LORD; and I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them.

38 And I will set my throne in Elam and will destroy from there the king and the princes, said the LORD.

39 But it shall come to pass in the last of the days that I will turn again the captivity of Elam, said the LORD.
