35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts,

‘Behold, I am going to abreak the bow of Elam,

The 1finest of their might.

36 ‘I will bring upon Elam the afour winds

From the four ends of heaven,

And will bscatter them to all these winds;

And there will be no nation

To which the outcasts of Elam will not go.

37 ‘So I will 1shatter Elam before their enemies

And before those who seek their lives;

And I will abring calamity upon them,

Even My bfierce anger,’ declares the Lord,

‘And I will csend out the sword after them

Until I have consumed them.

38 ‘Then I will set My throne in Elam

And destroy 1out of it king and princes,’

Declares the Lord.

39 ‘But it will come about in the last days

That I will arestore the 1fortunes of Elam,’ ”
