Jeremiah 49:34-36
Contemporary English Version

What the Lord Says about Elam

34-35 Not long after Zedekiah[a] became king of Judah, the Lord told me to say:

People of Elam,[b]
    I, the Lord All-Powerful,
will kill the archers
    who make your army strong.
36 Enemies will attack
    from all directions,
and you will be led captive
    to every nation on earth.

Jeremiah 49:34-36
New International Version

A Message About Elam

34 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam,(A) early in the reign of Zedekiah(B) king of Judah:

35 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“See, I will break the bow(C) of Elam,
    the mainstay of their might.
36 I will bring against Elam the four winds(D)
    from the four quarters of heaven;(E)
I will scatter them to the four winds,
    and there will not be a nation
    where Elam’s exiles do not go.
