Jeremiah 31:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ The 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. ¹⁶ But 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. ¹⁷ There is hope for your future, says the Lord, and your children will come again to their own land.
