Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 17 of 22
"In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."
In context
15And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
17In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
18But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
19Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
