A Message About Elam
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
This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“See, I will break the bow of Elam,
the mainstay of their might.
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
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
I will set my throne in Elam
and destroy her king and officials,”
declares the Lord.
39
“Yet I will restore the fortunes of Elam
in days to come,”
declares the Lord.
