Jeremiah

Judgment on Elam and Future Restoration

49
Chapter 49
34 which was the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, at the beginning of the kingdom of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying: 35 This is what the LORD of hosts says: "Here I am breaking the bow of Elam, the beginning of their might." 36 And I will bring upon Elam four winds from the four ends of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds, and there will not be a nation to which the driven ones of Elam will not come there. 37 And I will terrify Elam before their enemies and before the seekers of their nephesh, and I will bring upon them evil, the fierceness of my nostril, utterance of the LORD, and I will send after them the sword until my consuming them. 38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and I will destroy from there king and officials, utterance of the LORD. 39 And it will be in the latter days that I will restore the fortunes of Elam," says the LORD.
