And allH3605 the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH7321, when they praisedH1984 the LORDH3068, becauseH3588 the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was laidH3245. 12But manyH7227 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 and headsH7218 of fathers’H1 housesH1004, the oldH2205 menH7218 that had seenH7200 the firstH7223 houseH1004, when the foundationH3245 of this houseH1004 was laidH3245 beforeH5869 their eyesH5869, weptH1058 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963; and manyH7227 shoutedH8643 aloudH7311 for joyH8057: 13soH3588 that the peopleH5971 couldH5971 notH369 discernH8085 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH7321 of joyH8057 from the noiseH6963 of the weepingH1065 of the peopleH5971: for the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a loudH1419 shoutH7321, and the noiseH6963 was heardH8085 afarH7350 offH7350.
