before those who want to take their lives.
I will bring disaster on them,
My burning anger.

I will send the sword after them(A)
until I finish them off.

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[a] of Elam.(B)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
