Jeremiah 49:39

Elam
New life and rebirth

37 So I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives. I will bring disaster upon them, even My fierce anger,” declares the LORD. “I will send out the sword after them until I finish them off.

38 I will set My throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials,” declares the LORD.

“Yet in the last days, I will restore Elam from captivity,” declares the LORD.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
