It’s the sound of crying and deep sadness. Rachel is crying over her children. She refuses to be comforted, because they are gone.”( Jeremiah 31:15)After Herod died, Joseph had a dream while he was still in Egypt. In the dream an angel of the Lord appeared to him.The angel said,“ Get up! Take the child and his mother. Go to the land of Israel. The people who were trying to kill the child are dead.”

As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked back. There were the Egyptians marching after them! The Israelites were terrified. They cried out to the Lord.They said to Moses,“ Why did you bring us to the desert to die? Weren’t there any graves in Egypt? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?We told you in Egypt,‘ Leave us alone.

His nails became like the claws of a bird.

Those who are evil are happy for only a short time. The joy of ungodly people lasts only for a moment.Their pride might reach all the way up to the heavens. Their heads might touch the clouds.But they will disappear forever, like the waste from their own bodies. Anyone who has seen them will say,‘ Where did they go?’Like a dream they will fly away. They will never be seen again. They will be driven away like visions in the night.The eyes that saw them won’t see them anymore. Even their own families won’t remember them.

Then they escaped to the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon became the next king after his father Sennacherib.

The Lord speaks to the Jews living in Babylon. He says,“ Here is what you must tell the people of the nations. Tell them,‘ Your gods did not make the heavens and the earth.
