Jeremiah 31:15

Israel And Judah Will Be Delivered From Their Distress

¹⁴ I will refresh the priests with an abundance,
and My people will be satisfied with My goodness.
This is the Lord’s declaration. ¹⁵ This is what the Lord says:

A voice was heard in Ramah,
a lament with bitter weeping—
Rachel weeping for her children,
refusing to be comforted for her children
because they are no more. ¹⁶ This is what the Lord says:

Keep your voice from weeping
and your eyes from tears,
for the reward for your work will come—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and your children will return from the enemy’s land.
