Jeremiah 49:34-39
Authorized (King James) Version
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 again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord.

New King James Version
Judgment on Elam
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against (A)Elam, in the (B)beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘Behold, I will break (C)the [a]bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations 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.
(D)I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 I will (E)set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.
39 ‘But it shall come to pass (F)in the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”
