I will scatter them to the four winds,
    and there will not be a nation
    where Elam’s exiles do not go.
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,”^(F)

“I will pursue them with the sword^(G)
    until I have made an end of them.

    and destroy her king and officials,”
declares the Lord.

³⁹ “Yet I will restore^(H) the fortunes of Elam
    in days to come,”
declares the Lord.
