Jeremiah 31

15-17 Again, God’s Message:

"Listen to this! Laments coming out of Ramah,

wild and bitter weeping.

It’s Rachel weeping for her children,

Rachel refusing all solace.

Her children are gone,

gone—long gone into exile."

But God says, "Stop your incessant weeping,

hold back your tears.

Collect wages from your grief work." God’s Decree.

"They’ll be coming back home!

There’s hope for your children." God’s Decree.
