ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૨:૧૮
“રામાની સ્ત્રીઓ રુદન તથા મોટા વિલાપ કરે છે. એટલે તે સ્ત્રીઓની પૂર્વજ રાહેલ પોતાનાં બાળકો માટે રડે છે પણ દિલાસો પામવા ઇચ્છતી નહોતી, કેમ કે તેના સંતાન રહ્યાં ન હતા.”
हिन्दीमत्ती २:१८
“रामाह में एक करुण-नाद सुनाई दिया, रोना और बड़ा विलाप, राहेल अपने बालकों के लिये रो रही थी; और शान्त होना न चाहती थी, क्योंकि वे अब नहीं रहे।” (यिर्म. 31:15)

In context

17Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,

18“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”

19But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

20“Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
