Thus saith the Lord, a voice was heard in Ramah
Which signifies a high place; hence the Targum paraphrases it,
``in the high place of the world;''and so the Vulgate Latin version,
``in a high place;''but it is here the proper name of a place, of a city in the tribe of Benjamin, ( Joshua 18:25 ) ; and this voice heard was not a voice of joy and gladness as before, but of lamentation [and] bitter weeping;
``a voice was heard in the high place of the world, the house of Israel weeping and mourning after Jeremiah the prophet, whom Nabuzaradan the chief of those that slew, sent from Ramah; lamentation and weeping with bitterness, Jerusalem weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were gone into captivity.''
