Jeremiah 49:37–39

37 I will shatter Elam before their foes,

before those who want to kill them;

I will bring disaster on them,

even my fierce anger,”

declares the Lord.

“I will pursue them with the sword

until I have made an end of them.

38 I will set my throne in Elam

and destroy her king and officials,”

declares the Lord.

39 “Yet I will restore the fortunes of Elam

in days to come,”

declares the Lord.

37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies,

And before them that seek their life:

And I will bring evil upon them,

Even my fierce anger, saith the Lord;

And I will send the sword after them,

Till I have consumed them:

38 And I will set my throne in Elam,

And will destroy from thence the king and the princes,

Saith the Lord.

39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days,

That I will bring again the captivity of Elam,

Saith the Lord.

37 I myself will go with Elam’s enemies to shatter it.

In my fierce anger, I will bring great disaster

upon the people of Elam,” says the Lord.

“Their enemies will chase them with the sword

until I have destroyed them completely.

38 I will set my throne in Elam,” says the Lord,

“and I will destroy its king and officials.

39 But I will restore the fortunes of Elam

in days to come.

I, the Lord, have spoken!”

37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies

And before those who seek their life.

I will bring disaster upon them,

My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;

‘And I will send the sword after them

Until I have consumed them.

38 I will set My throne in Elam,

And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.

39 ‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days:

I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”

37 I will terrify Elam in front of their enemies,

who want to destroy them.

I will bring disaster to Elam

and show them how angry I am!” says the Lord.

“I will send a sword to chase Elam

until I have killed them all.

38 I will set up my throne in Elam to show that I am king,

and I will destroy its king and its officers!” says the Lord.

39 “But I will make good things happen to Elam again

in the future,” says the Lord.

37 And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith Jehovah; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them; 38 and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah. 39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.

37 And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce anger, saith Jehovah; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them. 38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah. 39 But it shall come to pass at the end of the days, I will turn the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.

37 I’ll defeat the people of Elam in the presence of their enemies, 

in the presence of those who want to kill them. 

I’ll bring disaster with my burning anger, declares the Lord. 

I’ll send armies after them until I put an end to them. 

38 I’ll set my throne in Elam and destroy its king and officials, 

declares the Lord. 

39 But afterward, I’ll return the captives of Elam, declares the Lord. 

37 I will devastate Elam before their enemies,

before those who want to take their lives.

I will bring disaster on them,

My burning anger.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

I will send the sword after them

until I finish them off.

38 I will set My throne in Elam,

and I will destroy the king and officials from there.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

39 In the last days,

I will restore the fortunes of Elam.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

37 I will terrify Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their life; I will bring disaster upon them, my fierce anger, says the Lord. I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them, 38 and I will set my throne in Elam and destroy their king and officials, says the Lord.

39 But in the latter days I will restore the fortunes of Elam, says the Lord.

37 So I will shatter Elam before their enemies,

and before the seekers of their life.

And I will bring disaster upon them,

my burning anger,’ declares Yahweh.

‘And I will send after them the sword

until I have destroyed them.

38 And I will set my throne in Elam

and I will destroy from there king and officials,’ declares Yahweh.

39 ‘And then in the last of the days

I will restore the fortunes of Elam,’ declares Yahweh.”

37 I will use Elam’s enemies to smash them.

Those who are trying to take their lives will kill them.

I will bring trouble on Elam’s people.

My anger will burn against them,”

announces the Lord.

“I will chase them with swords.

I will hunt them down

until I have destroyed them.

38 I will set up my throne in Elam.

I will destroy its king and officials,”

announces the Lord.

39 “But in days to come I will bless Elam

with great success again,”

announces the Lord.

37 ‘So I will shatter Elam before their enemies

And before those who seek their lives;

And I will bring calamity upon them,

Even My fierce anger,’ declares the Lord,

‘And I will send out the sword after them

Until I have consumed them.

38 ‘Then I will set My throne in Elam

And destroy out of it king and princes,’

Declares the Lord.

39 ‘But it will come about in the last days

That I will restore the fortunes of Elam,’ ”

Declares the Lord.
