Yirmeyah 49:34-39

34 The Devar Hashem that came to Yirmeyah HaNavi against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Tzidkiyah Melech Yehudah, saying,

35 Thus saith Hashem Tzva’os; Hineni: I will break the keshet (bow, power) of Elam, the mainstay of their might.

36 And upon Elam will I bring the arba ruchot (four winds) from the four quarters of Shomayim, and will scatter them toward all those ruchot; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not go.

37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their oyevim, and before them that seek their nefesh; and I will bring ra’ah upon them, even My charon af, saith Hashem; and I will send the cherev after them, till I have consumed them:

38 And I will set My Kisse in Elam, and will destroy from there melech and the sarim, saith Hashem.

39 Yet it shall come to pass in the acharit hayamim, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith Hashem.
