¹ Now in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

¹⁰ And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹ And in that day the hand of the Lord will be stretched out the second time to get back the rest of his people, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the sea-lands.

² And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place.

²² These are the sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

¹¹ And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.

² And the Lord gave into his hands Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he took them away into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he put the vessels into the store-house of his god.

²⁴ There is Elam and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword, who have gone down without circumcision into the lowest parts of the earth, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld:

³⁴ The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, saying,

³⁵ This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will have the bow of Elam, their chief strength, broken.

³⁶ And I will send on Elam four winds from the four quarters of heaven, driving them out to all those winds; there will be no nation into which the wanderers from Elam do not come.

³⁷ And I will let Elam be broken before their haters, and before those who are making designs against their lives: I will send evil on them, even my burning wrath, says the Lord; and I will send the sword after them till I have put an end to them:

³⁸ I will put the seat of my power in Elam, and in Elam I will put an end to kings and rulers, says the Lord.

³⁹ But it will come about that, in the last days, I will let the fate of Elam be changed, says the Lord.

²⁵ And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

¹² Did the gods of the nations keep safe those on whom my fathers sent destruction, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?

⁶ And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.

² A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow.
