Jeremiah 49:34-39
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

‘Behold, I am going to (C)break the bow of Elam,
The [a]finest of their might.
