Herod Has Innocent Children Murdered
16 Then Herod, when he[a] saw that he had been deceived by the wise men, became very angry, and he sent soldiers[b] and[c] executed all the children in Bethlehem and in all the region around it from the age of two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined precisely from the wise men. 17 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, saying,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah,
weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children,
and she did not want to be comforted,
because they exist no longer[d].”[e]
