Jeremiah 31:16

Context

31:16 The Lord says to her, 1 

“Stop crying! Do not shed any more tears! 2 

For your heartfelt repentance 3  will be rewarded.

Your children will return from the land of the enemy.

I, the Lord, affirm it! 4 

1 tn The words “to her” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “Refrain your voice from crying and your eyes from tears.”

3 tn Heb “your work.” Contextually her “work” refers to her weeping and refusing to be comforted, that is, signs of genuine repentance (v. 15).

4 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
