Ezra 3:11-13
11And they sang responsivelyH6030 with praiseH1984 and thanksgivingH3034 to the LORDH3068:
Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 gave a greatH1419 shoutH7321H8643 of praiseH1984 to the LORDH3068, because the foundationH5921 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 had been laidH3245.
12But manyH7227 of the olderH2205 priestsH3548, LevitesH3881, and familyH1 headsH7218 whoH834 had seenH7200 the firstH7223 templeH1004 weptH1058 loudlyH6963H1419 when they sawH5869 the foundationH3245 of thisH2088 templeH1004. Still, manyH7227 others shoutedH8643H7311 joyfullyH6963H8057. 13The peopleH5971 could notH369 distinguishH5234 the shoutsH6963H8643 of joyH8057 from the soundH6963 of weepingH1065, becauseH3588H5971 the peopleH5971 were making so much noiseH7321H8643H1419. And the soundH6963 was heardH8085 fromH5704 afarH7350.
