34 Early in the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the LORD spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about Elam. 35 The LORD who rules over all said, |I will kill all the archers of Elam, who are the chief source of her military might. 36 I will cause enemies to blow through Elam from every direction like the winds blowing in from the four quarters of heaven. I will scatter the people of Elam to the four winds. There will not be any nation where the refugees of Elam will not go. 37 I will make the people of Elam terrified of their enemies, who are seeking to kill them. I will vent my fierce anger and bring disaster upon them,| says the LORD. |I will send armies chasing after them until I have completely destroyed them. 38 I will establish my sovereignty over Elam. I will destroy their king and their leaders,| says the LORD. 39 Yet in days to come I will reverse Elam's ill fortune.| says the LORD. Jeremiah 49:34-39, New English Translation.
