Jeremiah 31:16

Israel And Judah Will Be Delivered From Their Distress

¹⁵ The Lord says, "A sound is heard in Ramah, a sound of crying in bitter grief. It is the sound of Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because her children are gone." ¹⁶ The Lord says to her, "Stop crying! Do not shed any more tears! For your heartfelt repentance will be rewarded. Your children will return from the land of the enemy. I, the Lord, affirm it! ¹⁷ Indeed, there is hope for your posterity. Your children will return to their own territory. I, the Lord, affirm it!
