Jeremiah 31:15-17

International Children’s Bible

“A sound was heard in Ramah.
    It was painful crying and much sadness.
Rachel cries for her children.
    And she cannot be comforted,
    because her children are dead!”

“Stop crying.
    Don’t let your eyes fill with tears.
You will be rewarded for your work!” says the Lord.
    “The people will come back from their enemy’s land.
¹⁷ So there is hope for you!” says the Lord.
    “Your children will come back to their own land.
