Jeremiah 49:34-39

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Judgment on Elam

³⁴ The word of the Lord that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning Elam, at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah.^(A)

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.
