Jeremiah 31:15-17

15 Thus says the Lord:
^a“A voice is heard in ^bRamah,
lamentation and bitter weeping.
^cRachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children,
^dbecause they are no more.”
16 Thus says the Lord:
“Keep your voice from weeping,
and your eyes from tears,
for there is a reward for your work,

declares the Lord,
and ^ethey shall come back from the land of the enemy.
17 ^fThere is hope for your future,

declares the Lord,
and your children shall come back to their own country.
