Jeremiah 49:32-39
New American Standard Bible
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.
39‘But it will come about in the last days That I will restore the fortunes of Elam,’?' Declares the Lord.
