Word Against Elam

34 That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning (A)Elam, (B)in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:

35 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
‘Behold, I am going to (C)break the bow of Elam,
The [a]finest of their might.
36 I will bring upon Elam the (D)four winds
From the four ends of heaven,
And I will (E)scatter them to all these winds;
And there will be no nation
To which the banished ones of Elam will not go.
37 So I will [b]shatter Elam before their enemies
And before those who seek their lives;
And I will (F)bring calamity upon them,
Even My (G)burning anger,’ declares Yahweh,
‘And I will (H)send out the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 Then I will set My throne in Elam
And cause king and princes from there to perish,’
Declares Yahweh.
39 ‘But it will be in the last days
That I will [c](I)return the [d]fortunes of Elam,’”
Declares Yahweh.
