35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts,
‘Behold, I am going to (A)break the bow of Elam,
The [a]finest of their might.
36 ‘I will bring upon Elam the (B)four winds
From the four ends of heaven,
And will (C)scatter them to all these winds;
And there will be no nation
To which the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 ‘So I will [b]shatter Elam before their enemies
And before those who seek their lives;
And I will (D)bring calamity upon them,
Even My (E)fierce anger,’ declares the Lord,
‘And I will (F)send out the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
