Jeremiah 25:25

²²The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

¹¹It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

¹⁷Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it.

¹¹“Make the arrows sharp! Hold the shields firmly! The LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.

²⁸Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!

³⁴The LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, ³⁵“The LORD of Armies says: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. ³⁶I will bring on Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds. There will be no nation where the outcasts of Elam will not come. ³⁷I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life. I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them. ³⁸I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and princes,’ says the LORD. ³⁹‘But it will happen in the latter days that I will reverse the captivity of Elam,’ says the LORD.”

²I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.

²⁸PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”

⁶Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

²⁴“There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
