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.
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.
37. I will break Elam to pieces while their enemies are watching. I will break Elam in front of the people who want to kill them. I will bring terrible troubles to them. I will show them how angry I am.” This message is from the Lord. “I will send a sword to chase Elam. The sword will chase them until I have killed them all.
38. I will show Elam that I am in control, and I will destroy its king and his officials.” This message is from the Lord.
