36 ‘I will bring upon Elam the (A)four winds
From the four ends of heaven,
And will (B)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 [a]shatter Elam before their enemies
And before those who seek their lives;
And I will (C)bring calamity upon them,
Even My (D)fierce anger,’ declares the Lord,
‘And I will (E)send out the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 ‘Then I will set My throne in Elam
And destroy [b]out of it king and princes,’
Declares the Lord.
