Jeremiah 49:34-39

New Living Translation

A Message about Elam

³⁴This message concerning Elam came to the prophet Jeremiah from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah. ³⁵This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:

“I will destroy the archers of Elam—
    the best of their forces.
³⁶I will bring enemies from all directions,
    and I will scatter the people of Elam to the four winds.
    They will be exiled to countries around the world.
³⁷I myself will go with Elam’s enemies to shatter it.
    In my fierce anger, I will bring great disaster
    upon the people of Elam,” says the Lord.
“Their enemies will chase them with the sword
    until I have destroyed them completely.
³⁸I will set my throne in Elam,” says the Lord,
    “and I will destroy its king and officials.
³⁹But I will restore the fortunes of Elam
    in days to come.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!”
