Rachel
from Jeremiah 31:15-17


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.
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;
there is hope for your future,
says the Lord;
your children shall come back to
their own country.
