Ezra 3:12-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² Yet many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, ^(A)the old men who had seen the first ^[a]temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, while many shouted aloud for joy, ¹³ so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the shout of joy from the sound of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard far away.
