^(A)“A voice was heard in ^(B)Ramah,
Lamentation and bitter ^(C)weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted for her children,
Because ^(D)they are no more.”

⁵ Her adversaries ^(A)have become ^[a]the master,
Her enemies prosper;
For the Lord has afflicted her
^(B)Because of the multitude of her transgressions.
Her ^(C)children have gone into captivity before the enemy.
