Nehemiah 8:10-11

10Nehemiah said to the people, ‘Go to your homes and eat some good food. Drink sweet drinks. Share your food and your drink with people who do not have enough for themselves. This is a holy day for our Lord, so do not be sad. The Lord will give you joy so that you can be strong.’

11The Levites also comforted the people. They said, ‘Do not weep. Today is a holy day, so do not be sad.’
