Ezra 3:11-13

111They sangH6031, praisingH1984 and givingH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068, saying, “2For He is goodH2896, for His lovingkindnessH2617 is upon IsraelH3478 foreverH5769.” And allH3605 the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643 when they praisedH1984 the LordH3068 becauseH5921 the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 was laidH3245.

12Yet manyH7227 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 and headsH7218 of fathers’H1 households, 3the oldH2205 menH2205 whoH834 had seenH7200 the firstH7223 4templeH1004, weptH1058 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 when the foundationH3245 of thisH2088 houseH1004 was laidH3245 before their eyesH5869, while manyH7227 shoutedH8643 aloudH7311 for joyH8057,

13so that the peopleH5971 could not distinguishH5234 the soundH6963 of the shoutH8643 of joyH8057 from the soundH6963 of the weepingH1065 of the peopleH5971, for the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a loudH1419 shoutH8643, and the soundH6963 was heardH8085 farH7350 awayH4480.
