a“A voice was heard in bRamah,
Lamentation and bitter cweeping,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted for her children,
Because dthey are no more.”

“Refrain your voice from aweeping,
And your eyes from tears;
For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord,
And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.

That your children shall come back to their own border.

18 “I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself:
‘You have achastised me, and I was chastised,
Like an untrained bull;
bRestore me, and I will return,
For You are the Lord my God.
‘You have achastised me, and I was chastised,
Like an untrained bull;
bRestore me, and I will return,
For You are the Lord my God.
19 Surely, aafter my turning, I repented;
And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh;
I was bashamed, yes, even humiliated,
Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh;
I was bashamed, yes, even humiliated,
Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
