Matthew 2:16-18

New Matthew Bible

¹⁶ Then Herod, perceiving that the wise men had gotten around him, was exceedingly angry, and sent forth and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem and in all its vicinity – as many as were two years old and under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. ¹⁷ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, ¹⁸ On the hills a voice was heard, mourning, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping for her children. And she would not be comforted, because they were no more.
