Jeremiah 31:13-17
English Standard Version
13 (A)Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance,
and the young men and the old shall be merry.
(B)I will turn their mourning into joy;
I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
14 (C)I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance,
and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,
declares the Lord.”
15 Thus says the Lord:
(D)“A voice is heard in (E)Ramah,
lamentation and bitter weeping.
(F)Rachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children,
(G)because 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 (H)they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
17 (I)There is hope for your future,
declares the Lord,
and your children shall come back to their own country.
