This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, early in the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah:

This is what the LORD Almighty says: "See, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might.

I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the heavens; I will scatter them to the four winds, and there will not be a nation where Elam's exiles do not go.

I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives; I will bring disaster upon them, even my fierce anger," declares the LORD . "I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them.

I will set my throne in Elam and destroy her king and officials," declares the LORD .

"Yet I will restore the fortunes of Elam in days to come," declares the LORD .
