Original text and translations

Latin text Quiescat vox tua a ploratu et oculi tui a lacrimis Qui dispersit Israel congregabit eum, et custodiet sicut pastor gregem suum. Revertentur filii tui ad terminos suos, convertam luctum eorum in gaudium, et consolabor eos, et lætificabo a dolore suo

English translation Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thy eyes [from] tears. He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock. The children shall return to their own borders, I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow. (Douay-Rheims Bible: selected texts from Jeremiah Chapter 31)
