Matthew 2:16 - 2:18

Herod Slaughters Children

16 Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully determined from the magi.
17 Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, 18
“A voice was heard in Ramah,
Weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
And she was refusing to be comforted,
Because they were no more.”
