A Message to Elam

34 ·Soon after Zedekiah became [L At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the] king of Judah [C beginning in 597 bc], the Lord spoke this word to Jeremiah the prophet. This message is to the nation of Elam [C located on the Iranian plateau].

35 This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says:

“I will soon break Elam’s bow [Is. 22:6],
    its greatest strength.
36 I will bring the four winds against Elam
    from the four corners of the ·skies [heavens].
I will scatter its people ·everywhere the four winds blow [L to all four winds];
    its ·captives [exiles] will go to every nation.
