Jeremiah 49:35–39 · Berean Standard Bible

35 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow, the mainstay of their might.

36 I will bring the four winds against Elam from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds. There will not be a nation to which Elam’s exiles will not go.

37 So 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 send out the sword after them until I finish them off.

38 I will set My throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials,” declares the LORD.

39 “Yet in the last days, I will restore Elam from captivity,” declares the LORD.
