Jeremiah 31:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Thus says the Lord:
A voice is heard in Ramah,
    lamentation and bitter weeping.
Rachel is weeping for her children;
    she refuses to be comforted for her children,
    because they are no more.
¹⁶ Thus says the Lord:
Keep your voice from weeping,
    and your eyes from tears;
for there is a reward for your work,
says the Lord:
    they shall come back from the land of the enemy;
¹⁷ there is hope for your future,
says the Lord:
    your children shall come back to their own country.
