A Message Concerning Elam
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.
