and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media;

The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, {saying},

"Thus says Yahweh of hosts: 'Look, I [am] going to break the bow of Elam, the first and best of their might.

And I will bring to Elam four winds, from the four corners of heaven, and I will scatter them to all these winds, and there will not be a nation where the scattered people of Elam will not go.

So I will shatter Elam {before} their enemies, and {before} the seekers of their life. And I will bring disaster upon them, {my burning anger},' {declares} Yahweh. 'And I will send after them the sword until I have destroyed them.

And I will set my throne in Elam and I will destroy from there king and officials,' {declares} Yahweh.

'{And then} in the last of the days I will restore the fortunes of Elam,' {declares} Yahweh."
