Jeremiah 49:34-39
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Prophecies against Elam
34 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam[a] at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.(A) 35 This is what the Lord of Hosts says:
I am about to shatter Elam’s bow,(B)
the source[b] of their might.
36 I will bring the four winds against Elam
from the four corners of the heavens,
and I will scatter them to all these winds.
There will not be a nation
to which Elam’s banished ones will not go.
37 I will devastate Elam before their enemies,
before those who want to take their lives.
I will bring disaster on them,
My burning anger.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will send the sword after them(C)
until I finish them off.
38 I will set My throne in Elam,
and I will destroy the king and officials from there.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
