Jeremiah 49:33-39
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.

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.
39But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
