 * A desolation for ever; no man shall abide there,
 * Neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

The word of the that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:


 * Thus saith the of hosts:
 * Behold, I will break the bow of Elam
 * The chief of their might.
 * And I will bring against Elam the four winds
 * From the four quarters of heaven,
 * And will scatter them toward all those winds;
 * And there shall be no nation whither the dispersed of Elam shall not come.
 * And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies,
 * And before them that seek their life;
 * And I will bring evil upon them,
 * Even My fierce anger, saith the ;
 * And I will send the sword after them,
 * Till I have consumed them;
 * And I will set My throne in Elam,
 * And will destroy from thence king and princes, saith the.
 * But it shall come to pass in the end of days,
 * That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith the.

The word that the spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.


 * Declare ye among the nations and announce,
 * And set up a standard;
 * Announce, and conceal not;
 * Say: 'Babylon is taken,
 * Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed;
 * Her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.'
 * For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her,
 * Which shall make her land desolate,
 * And none shall dwell therein;
 * They are fled, they are gone, both man and beast.
 * In those days, and in that time, saith the ,
 * The children of Israel shall come,
 * They and the children of Judah together;
 * They shall go on their way weeping,
 * And shall seek the their God.
 * They shall inquire concerning Zion
 * With their faces hitherward:
 * 'Come ye, and join yourselves to the
 * In an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.'


 * My people hath been lost sheep;
 * Their shepherds have caused them to go astray,
 * They have turned them away on the mountains;
 * They have gone from mountain to hill,
 * They have forgotten their resting-place.
 * All that found them have devoured them;
 * And their adversaries said: 'We are not guilty';
 * Because they have sinned against the, the habitation of justice,
 * Even the, the hope of their fathers.


 * Flee out of the midst of Babylon,
 * And go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans,
