New American Standard Bible
Prophecy against Elam
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning (A)Elam, (B)at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:
35 “This is what the Lord of armies says:
‘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 will (E)scatter them to all these winds;
And there will be no nation
To which the outcasts 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 disaster upon them,
Even My (G)fierce anger,’ declares the Lord,
‘And I will (H)send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 Then I will set My throne in Elam,
And eliminate from there the king and officials,’
Declares the Lord.
39 ‘But it will come about in the last days
That I will (I)restore the fortunes of Elam,’”
Declares the Lord.

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.
