Jeremiah 31:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ Then the young women will dance and be happy,
    and men, young and old, will rejoice.
I will comfort them and turn their mourning into joy,
    their sorrow into gladness.
¹⁴ I will fill the priests with the richest food
    and satisfy all the needs of my people.
I, the Lord, have spoken.”

“A sound is heard in Ramah,
    the sound of bitter weeping.
Rachel is crying for her children;
    they are gone,
    and she refuses to be comforted.
