Jeremiah 49:37

For 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 LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:

KJV

Et pavere faciam Ælam coram inimicis suis, et in conspectu quærentium animam eorum : et adducam super eos malum, iram furoris mei, dicit Dominus, et mittam post eos gladium donec consumam eos.

Vulgate

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 Jehovah; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:

ASV

וְ/הַחְתַּתִּ֣י אֶת עֵ֠ילָם לִ/פְנֵ֨י אֹיְבֵי/הֶ֜ם וְ/לִ/פְנֵ֣י מְבַקְשֵׁ֣י נַפְשָׁ֗/ם וְ/הֵבֵאתִ֨י עֲלֵי/הֶ֧ם רָעָ֛ה אֶת חֲר֥וֹן אַפִּ֖/י נְאֻם יְהוָ֑ה וְ/שִׁלַּחְתִּ֤י אַֽחֲרֵי/הֶם֙ אֶת הַ/חֶ֔רֶב עַ֥ד כַּלּוֹתִ֖/י אוֹתָֽ/ם

Hebrew

And I will cause Elam to be afraid before their enemies, and in the sight of them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce wrath, saith the Lord: and I will send the sword after them, till I consume them.
