Jeremiah 31:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Thus saith the Lord: Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thy eyes from tears: for there is a reward for thy work, saith the Lord: and they shall return out of the land of the enemy.

¹⁷ And here is hope for thy last end, saith the Lord: and the children shall return to their own borders.

¹⁸ Hearing I heard Ephraim when he went into captivity: thou hast chastised me, and I was instructed, as a young bullock unaccustomed to the yoke. Convert me, and I shall be converted, for thou art the Lord my God.
