15Thus says Yahweh: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping—Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”

16Thus says Yahweh: Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for there is a reward for your work, declares Yahweh, and they will return from the land of the enemy.

17There is hope for your future, declares Yahweh, and your children will return to their own territory.
