31 “Get up! Attack the nation that is comfortable,that is sure no one will defeat it,” says the Lord.“It does not have gates or fences to protect it.Its people live alone.
32 The enemy will steal their camelsand their large herds of cattle as war prizes.I will scatter the people who cut their hair short to every part of the earth,and I will bring disaster on them from everywhere,” says the Lord.
33 “The city of Hazor will become a home for wild dogs;it will be an empty desert forever.No one will live there,and no one will stay in it.”
34 Soon after Zedekiah became king of Judah, the Lord spoke this word to Jeremiah the prophet. This message is to the nation of Elam.
35 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says:“I will soon break Elam’s bow,its greatest strength.
36 I will bring the four winds against Elamfrom the four corners of the skies.I will scatter its people everywhere the four winds blow;its captives will go to every nation.
37 I will terrify Elam in front of their enemies,who want to destroy them.I will bring disaster to Elamand show them how angry I am!” says the Lord.“I will send a sword to chase Elamuntil I have killed them all.
