Jeremiah 49:35
The bow was the national weapon of Elam, and therefore the "chief of their might," that on which their strength in war depended.
33 “Hazor ashall be a dwelling for jackals, a desolation forever;
No one shall reside there,
Nor son of man dwell in it.”
No one shall reside there,
Nor son of man dwell in it.”
Judgment on Elam
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against aElam, in the bbeginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
aI will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
And before those who seek their life.
aI will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 I will aset My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.
39 ‘But it shall come to pass ain the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”
