³⁴ The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

³⁵ “Thus saith the Lord of hosts: “‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

³⁶ And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

³⁷ For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, even My fierce anger,’ saith the Lord; ‘and I will send the sword after them till I have consumed them.

³⁸ And I will set My throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes,’ saith the Lord.

³⁹ “‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ saith the Lord.”
