Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 49:34

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

34. Elam —part of Susiana, west of Persia proper, but used to designate Persia in general. Elam proper, or Elymais, nearer Judea than Persia, is probably here meant; it had helped Nebuchadnezzar against Judea; hence its punishment. It may have been idolatrous, whereas Persia proper was mainly monotheistic. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-35" class="com-number"
