Living Bible

¹⁴I will feast the priests with the abundance of offerings brought to them at the Temple; I will satisfy my people with my bounty, says the Lord.

¹⁵The Lord spoke to me again, saying: In Ramah there is bitter weeping—Rachel^[a] is weeping for her children and cannot be comforted, for they are gone. ¹⁶But the Lord says: Don’t cry any longer, for I have heard your prayers^[b] and you will see them again; they will come back to you from the distant land of the enemy.
