Context of Jeremiah 31:17
15Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. 16Thus saith the LORD; Restrain thy voice from weeping, and thy eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thy end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border. 18I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus ; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bull unaccustomed to the yoke : turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. 19Surely after I was turned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, and even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.
