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.

35 Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am going to break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might,(B) 36 and I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and I will scatter them to all these winds, and there shall be no nation to which the exiles from Elam shall not come.(C) 37 I will terrify Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their life; I will bring disaster upon them, my fierce anger, says the Lord. I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them,(D) 38 and I will set my throne in Elam and destroy their king and officials, says the Lord.
39 But in the latter days I will restore the fortunes of Elam, says the Lord.

A Message About Elam
34 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam,(A) early in the reign of Zedekiah(B) king of Judah:
35 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“See, I will break the bow(C) of Elam,
the mainstay of their might.
36 I will bring against Elam the four winds(D)
from the four quarters of heaven;(E)
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 want to kill them;
I will bring disaster on them,
even my fierce anger,”(F)
declares the Lord.
“I will pursue them with the sword(G)
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(H) the fortunes of Elam
in days to come,”
declares the Lord.
