Jeremiah 31:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

A sound is heard in Ramah,
the sound of crying in bitter grief.
Rachel is crying for her children.
She refuses to be comforted,
because they are dead.

Stop your crying, and wipe away your tears.
You will be rewarded for your work, declares the Lord.
You will return from the land of the enemy.
¹⁷ Your future is filled with hope, declares the Lord.
Your children will return to their own territory.
