The sons of Shem [were] Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, Aram, and Cainan.

And it came to pass in the reign of Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, that Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations,

The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur,

and all the kings of Aelam, and all the kings of the Persians,

The prophecies of Jeremiah against the nations of Elam:

And I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation [to] which they shall not come, [even] the outcasts of Elam.

And I will set My throne in Elam, and I will send forth from there king and rulers.

And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Elam, and I was on the [bank of the] Ulai.

Son of man, lament over the strength of Egypt, for the nations shall bring down her daughters dead to the depth of the earth, to them that go down to the pit.

Go down to the depths of the pit; to whom are you superior? Yea, go down, and lie with the uncircumcised, in the midst of them [that are] slain with the sword.

and great waters shall cover you, and I shall bring you down to them that go down to the pit, to the people of old time, and shall cause you to dwell in the depths of the earth, as in everlasting desolation, with them that go down to the pit, that you may not be inhabited, nor stand upon the land of life;

in the midst of the slain.

There are the princes of the north, [even] all the captains of Assyria, who go down slain [to the pit]; they lie uncircumcised among the slain with the sword together with their terror and their strength, and they have received their punishment with them that go down to the pit.

You therefore bear your punishment, for that you have corrupted your sisters by your sins which you have committed beyond them; and you have made them [appear] more righteous than yourself: you therefore be ashamed, and bear your dishonor, in that you have justified your sisters.

that you may bear your punishment, and be dishonored for all that you have done in provoking Me to anger.

And I will raise up for them a plant of peace, and they shall no more perish with hunger upon the land, and they shall no more bear the reproach off the nations.

Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen;

therefore I will lift up My hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach.

And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and you shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, says the Lord God.

And they shall bear their reproach, and the iniquity which they committed when they dwelt upon their land in peace. Yet there shall be none to terrify [them]

And they shall not draw near to Me, to minister to Me in the priests' office, nor to approach the holy things of the children of Israel, nor [to approach] My Holy of Holies; but they shall bear their reproach for the error in which they erred.

But shame has consumed the labors of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and their sons and their daughters.

We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us. Because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God.

Drink also your fill of disgrace instead of glory: shake, O heart, and quake, the cup of the right hand of the Lord has come round upon you, and dishonor has gathered upon your glory.
