Jeremiah 49:36

36 I'll bring the four winds from the four corners of heaven against Elam and scatter its people in every direction. There won't be a nation where Elam's refugees won't go.

Jeremiah 49:36 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:36

And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four
quarters of heaven
The Targum interprets it the four kingdoms; see ( Daniel 7:2 ) . Some think this had its accomplishment in the times of Alexander; or else after his death, in the times of his four successors; but rather in the times of Nebuchadnezzar, who should bring with him, in his army, people that dwelt in the several parts of the world, comparable to the winds for their swiftness and strength; whose blast would be so great as to drive the Elamites to every part of the world, as every light thing is by the wind: and will scatter them towards all those winds;
those four winds, east, west, north, and south: and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not
come;
those that are driven out of it, forced to flee from it, or are taken captive, should come into the several nations of the world; so that there would not be any in which an Elamite was not.

Jeremiah 49:36 In-Context

34 Early in the rule of King Zedekiah of Judah, the LORD spoke his word to the prophet Jeremiah about Elam.

35 This is what the LORD of Armies says: I'm going to break the bows of Elam's archers, the most important weapon of their strength.

36 I'll bring the four winds from the four corners of heaven against Elam and scatter its people in every direction. There won't be a nation where Elam's refugees won't go.

37 I'll defeat the people of Elam in the presence of their enemies, in the presence of those who want to kill them. I'll bring disaster with my burning anger, declares the LORD. I'll send armies after them until I put an end to them.

38 I'll set my throne in Elam and destroy its king and officials, declares the LORD.
