  • the first and best of their might.
  • 36  from the four corners of heaven,
• and I will scatter them to all these winds,
  • and there will not be a nation
  • where the scattered people of Elam will not go.
  • 37 [fn] their enemies, and[fn] the seekers of their life.
• And I will bring disaster upon them,
  • [fn]’[fn] Yahweh.
• ‘And I will send after them the sword
  • until I have destroyed them.
  • 38  and I will destroy from there king and officials,’[fn] Yahweh.
