Jeremiah 49:34-39
Lexham English Bible
A Message Concerning Elam
34 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, saying,[a] 35 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts:
‘Look, I am going to break the bow of Elam,
the first and best of their might.
36 And I will bring to Elam four winds,
from the four corners of heaven,
and I will scatter them to all these winds,
and there will not be a nation
where the scattered people of Elam will not go.
37 So I will shatter Elam before[b] their enemies,
and before[c] the seekers of their life.
And I will bring disaster upon them,
my burning anger,[d]’ declares[e] Yahweh.
‘And I will send after them the sword
until I have destroyed them.
38 And I will set my throne in Elam
and I will destroy from there king and officials,’ declares[f] Yahweh.
39 ‘And then[g] in the last of the days
I will restore the fortunes[h] of Elam,’ declares[i] Yahweh.”
