Jeremiah 31:15-17

Christian Standard Bible

A voice was heard in Ramah,^(A)
a lament with bitter weeping—
Rachel weeping for her children,
refusing to be comforted for her children
because they are no more.^(B)

Keep your voice from weeping
and your eyes from tears,
for the reward for your work will come—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and your children will return from the enemy’s land.
¹⁷ There is hope for your future^(C)—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and your children will return to their own territory.
