³⁵ This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says:
“Look, I’m going to break the bow of Elam,
    the finest of their troops.
³⁶ I’ll bring the four winds against Elam
    from the four corners of the heavens,
and I’ll scatter them to all these winds.
    There will be no nation to which the exiles
        from Elam won’t go.
³⁷ I’ll terrify Elam before their enemies
    and before those who seek to kill them.
I’ll bring on them disaster and become fiercely angry at them,”
    declares the Lord.
“I’ll send the sword after them,
    until I’ve made an end of them.
³⁸ I’ll put my throne in Elam,
    and destroy the king and the officials there,”
        declares the Lord.
³⁹ “But in the latter days I’ll restore
    the fortunes of Elam,”
        declares the Lord.
