Jeremiah 49:30-38
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 49
30Run away, flee! Dwell in the depths, You inhabitants of Hazor,' declares the Lord; 'For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has formed a plan against you And devised a scheme against you. 31Arise, go up against a nation which is at ease, Which lives securely,' declares the Lord. 'It has no gates or bars; They dwell alone. 32Their camels will become plunder, And their many livestock for spoils, And I will scatter to all the winds those who cut the corners of their hair; And I will bring their disaster from every side,' declares the Lord.
35'This is what the Lord of armies says: ‘Behold, I am going to break the bow of Elam, The finest of their might.
36I will bring upon Elam the four winds From the four ends of heaven, And will scatter them to all these winds; And there will be no nation To which the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37So I will shatter Elam before their enemies And before those who seek their lives; And I will bring disaster upon them, Even My fierce anger,’ declares the Lord, ‘And I will send the sword after them Until I have consumed them.
38Then I will set My throne in Elam, And eliminate from there the king and officials,’ Declares the Lord.

Chapter 49
30Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you. 31Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone. 32And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD. 33And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
34The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36And 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.
37For 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:
38And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.

Chapter 49
30Flee quickly away! Stay in deep caves, you who live in Hazor,' declares the LORD. 'Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has plotted against you; he has devised a plan against you. 31Arise and attack a nation at ease, which lives in confidence,' declares the LORD, 'a nation that has neither gates nor bars; its people live far from danger. 32Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be spoils of war. I will scatter to the winds those who are in distant places and will bring disaster on them from every side,' declares the LORD. 33Hazor will become a haunt of jackals, a desolate place forever. No one will live there; no people will dwell in it.'
35This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'See, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might.

37I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who want to kill them; I will bring disaster on them, even my fierce anger,' declares the LORD. 'I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them.
