So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet, Against Elam, - in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah saying: -

Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! breaking the bow of Elam, - The beginning of their might;

Then will I bring in against Elam four winds from the four quarters of the heavens, And will scatter them to all these winds, - And there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam, shall not come;

And I will cause Elam to be dismayed Before their enemies Even before them who are seeking their life, So will I bring upon them calamity, Even the glow of mine anger Declareth Yahweh, - And will send after them the sword, until I have made an end of them;

And I will set my throne in Elam, - And will destroy, from thence king and princes, Declareth Yahweh;

But it shall come to pass In the afterpart of the days, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, Declareth Yahweh.
