Jeremiah49:38
38 And I will set my throne in Elam , and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD .
God here calls the throne of Nebuchadnezzar, or Cyrus, or Alexander (who ever he was that conquered the Persians) his throne. 1. Because God gave it the Conquerour. 2. Or, because God shewed himself the Lord of hosts, or the Lord of the whole Earth, by disposing the Kingdom of Persia at his pleasure.
He doth not threaten the destruction of the whole Nation, but the making of it all Tributary, so as it should have no Kings nor Princes of its own.
