The Massacre of the Infants

¹⁶When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men,^[a] he was infuriated, and he sent and killed all the children in and around Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had learned from the wise men.^[b] ¹⁷Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah:

¹⁸‘A voice was heard in Ramah,
wailing and loud lamentation,
Rachel weeping for her children;
she refused to be consoled, because they are no more.’
