• Jeremiah 31:15-17 "Thus says the Lord: In Ramah is heard the sound of moaning, of bitter weeping!  Rachel mourns her children, she refuses to be consoled because her children are no more.  Thus says the Lord, cease your cries of mourning.  The sorrow you have shown shall have its reward, says the Lord, they shall return from the enemy's land.  There is hope for your future says the Lord; they shall return from the enemy's land.  There is hope for your future, says the Lord; your sons shall return to their own borders."
• Matthew 2:18 "A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loud lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be consoled, since they were no more."
• Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth today to witness against you; I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse.  Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live."
• Isaiah 49:14-16 "But Zion said, "The Lord has forsaken me; my Lord had forgotten me."  Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb?  Even should she forget, I will never forget you.  See upon the palms of my hands I have written your name; your walls are ever before me."
