This song is taken from Jer 31:15, 16. But the hope for the people of God is in verse 17.
God has not forgotten His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And we, gentiles have been grafted into the vine and made one in Messiah through the cross (Rom 11:17, Eph 2:14-17).
Shalom Israel.
Jer 31: 15-17
15 Thus says the Lord:
“A voice was heard in Ramah,
Lamentation and bitter weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted for her children,
Because they are no more.”
Lamentation and bitter weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted for her children,
Because they are no more.”
16 Thus says the Lord:
“Refrain your voice from weeping,
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.
17 There is hope in your future, says the Lord,
That your children shall come back to their own border.
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.
17 There is hope in your future, says the Lord,
That your children shall come back to their own border.
