Judgment on Elam

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

35 Thus says the Lord of Hosts:

I will break the bow of Elam,
    the chief of their might.
36 Upon Elam I will bring the four winds
    from the four quarters of heaven,
and will scatter them toward all those winds.
    And there will be no nation
    where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies,
    and before those who seek their life.
And I will bring disaster upon them,
    even My fierce anger,
    says the Lord;
and I will send the sword after them
    until I have consumed them.
38 And I will set My throne in Elam
    and will destroy from there the king and the officials,
    says the Lord.
39 But it will come to pass in the latter days
    that I will restore the fortunes of Elam,
    says the Lord.
