12 But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple,(A) wept(B) aloud when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid, while many others shouted for joy. 13 No one could distinguish the sound of the shouts of joy(C) from the sound of weeping, because the people made so much noise.
