Matthew 2:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version

Herod Kills the Boys

16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Wise Men, he was furious. He issued orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under. This was in keeping with the exact time he had learned from the Wise Men. 17 Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:

18 A voice was heard in Ramah,
    weeping and great mourning,
    Rachel weeping for her children,
    and she refused to be comforted,
    because they are no more.[a]
