Jeremiah 31:15-16.
15 Thus says the Lord: “A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, Refusing to be comforted for her children, Because they are no more.” 16 Thus says the Lord: “Refrain your voice from weeping, And your eyes from tears; For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord, And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.

In Matthew 2:16-18, Herod did as this prophecy, killing the young children in an attempt to kill Jesus hue Christ. But He survived, and now in Him we can wipe away the tears as we and others return from Satan's land of sin and death and eternal punishment. We are free in Jesus, and can find joy as we bear witness of that freedom from death as others come to eternal life by faith in Him.
Acts 26:18 to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
