³⁴ The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet regarding Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, ³⁵ Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said: Behold, I break the bow of Elam, the foundation of their might. ³⁶ And upon Elam I will bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come. ³⁷ For I will cause Elam to fear before their enemies and before those that seek their soul; and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, said the LORD; and I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them. ³⁸ And I will set my throne in Elam and will destroy from there the king and the princes, said the LORD.

³⁹ But it shall come to pass in the last of the days that I will turn again the captivity of Elam, said the LORD.
