# I will shatter Elam
These words are a metonym for Yahweh causing enemies to destroy Elam. AT: "I will cause Elam's enemies to destroy Elam" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# Elam
the people of Elam (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# those who seek their lives
Seeking a person's life represents wanting or desiring to kill someone. AT: "those who want to kill them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# I will bring disaster against them

# the fury of my wrath
This is the reason that Yahweh will destroy the people of Elam. AT: "because I am very angry" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-connectingwords]])
# this is Yahweh's declaration
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 1:8](../01/07.md). AT: "this is what Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, Yahweh, have declared" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
# the sword after them
Here "sword" represents the enemy army carrying their weapons. AT: "the enemy army to pursue and kill them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
