³⁴ Early in the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the LORD spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about Elam. ³⁵ The LORD who rules over all said, "I will kill all the archers of Elam, who are the chief source of her military might. ³⁶ I will cause enemies to blow through Elam from every direction like the winds blowing in from the four quarters of heaven. I will scatter the people of Elam to the four winds. There will not be any nation where the refugees of Elam will not go. ³⁷ I will make the people of Elam terrified of their enemies, who are seeking to kill them. I will vent my fierce anger and bring disaster upon them," says the LORD. "I will send armies chasing after them until I have completely destroyed them. ³⁸ I will establish my sovereignty over Elam. I will destroy their king and their leaders," says the LORD. ³⁹ "Yet in days to come I will reverse Elam's ill fortune." says the LORD.
