Jeremiah 31:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ The young girls will dance for joy, and menfolk—old and young—will take their part in all the fun; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and I will comfort them and make them rejoice, for their captivity with all its sorrows will be behind them. ¹⁴ I will feast the priests with the abundance of offerings brought to them at the Temple; I will satisfy my people with my bounty, says the Lord.

¹⁵ The Lord spoke to me again, saying: In Ramah there is bitter weeping—Rachel^[a] is weeping for her children and cannot be comforted, for they are gone.
