Jeremiah 31:13-15
Easy-to-Read Version
13 Then the young women of Israel will be happy and dance.
And the men, young and old, will join in the dancing.
I will change their sadness into happiness.
I will comfort my people, making them happy instead of sad.
14 I will give the priests plenty of food.
And my people will be filled and satisfied with the good things I give them.”
This message is from the Lord.
15 This is what the Lord says:
“A sound is heard in Ramah—
bitter crying and great sadness.
Rachel[a] cries for her children,
and she refuses to be comforted,
because her children are gone.”
