A Message About Elam

34 Early in the time when Zedekiah was king of Judah, Jeremiah the prophet received a message from the Lord about the nation of Elam.[a]

35 The Lord All-Powerful says,
“I will break Elam’s bow very soon.
    It is Elam’s strongest weapon.
36 I will bring the four winds against Elam.
    I will bring them from the four corners of the skies.
I will send the people of Elam to every place on the earth where the four winds blow.
    Elam’s captives will be carried away to every nation.
