Nehemiah 8:9-12
9
And Nehemiah, H5166 which H1931 is the Tirshatha, H8660 and Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 the scribe, H5608 and the Levites H3881 that taught H995 the people, H5971 said H559 to all H3605 the people, H5971 This day H3117 is holy H6918 to the LORD H3068 your God; H430 mourn H56 not, nor H408 weep. H1058 For all H3605 the people H5971 wept, H1058 when they heard H8085 the words H1697 of the law. H8451
10
Then he said H559 to them, Go H3212 your way, eat H398 the fat, H4924 and drink H8354 the sweet, H4477 and send H7971 portions H4490 to them for whom nothing H3808 is prepared: H3559 for this day H3117 is holy H6918 to our LORD: H113 neither H408 be you sorry; H6087 for the joy H2304 of the LORD H3068 is your strength. H4581
11
So the Levites H3881 stilled H2814 all H3605 the people, H5971 saying, H559 Hold H2013 your peace, H2013 for the day H3117 is holy; H6918 neither H408 be you grieved. H6087
12
And all H3605 the people H5971 went H3212 their way to eat, H398 and to drink, H8354 and to send H7971 portions, H4490 and to make H6213 great H1419 mirth, H8057 because H3588 they had understood H995 the words H1697 that were declared H3045 to them.
Nehemiah 9:1-38
1
Now in the twenty H6242 and fourth H702 day H3117 of this H2088 month H2320 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were assembled H622 with fasting, H6685 and with sackcloths, H8242 and earth H127 on them.
2
And the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 separated H914 themselves from all H3605 strangers, H1121 H5236 and stood H5975 and confessed H3034 their sins, H2403 and the iniquities H5771 of their fathers. H1
3
And they stood H6965 up in their place, H5977 and read H7121 in the book H5612 of the law H8451 of the LORD H3068 their God H430 one fourth H7243 part of the day; H3117 and another fourth H7243 part they confessed, H3034 and worshipped H7812 the LORD H3068 their God. H430
4
Then stood H6965 up on the stairs, H4608 of the Levites, H3881 Jeshua, H3442 and Bani, H1137 Kadmiel, H6934 Shebaniah, H7645 Bunni, H1137 Sherebiah, H8274 Bani, H1137 and Chenani, H3662 and cried H2199 with a loud H1419 voice H6963 to the LORD H3068 their God. H430
5
Then the Levites, H3881 Jeshua, H3442 and Kadmiel, H6934 Bani, H1137 Hashabniah, H2813 Sherebiah, H8274 Hodijah, H1940 Shebaniah, H7645 and Pethahiah, H6611 said, H559 Stand H6965 up and bless H1288 the LORD H3068 your God H430 for ever H5769 and ever: H5769 and blessed H1288 be your glorious H3519 name, H8034 which is exalted H7311 above H5921 all H3605 blessing H1293 and praise. H8416
6
You, even you, are LORD H3068 alone; H905 you have made H6213 heaven, H8064 the heaven H8064 of heavens, H8064 with all H3605 their host, H6635 the earth, H776 and all H3605 things that are therein, H5921 the seas, H3220 and all H3605 that is therein, and you preserve H2421 them all; H3605 and the host H6635 of heaven H8064 worships H7812 you.
7
You are the LORD H3068 the God, H430 who H834 did choose H977 Abram, H87 and brought H3318 him forth H3318 out of Ur H218 of the Chaldees, H3778 and gave H7760 him the name H8034 of Abraham; H85
8
And found H4672 his heart H3824 faithful H539 before H6440 you, and made H3772 a covenant H1285 with him to give H5414 the land H776 of the Canaanites, H3669 the Hittites, H2850 the Amorites, H567 and the Perizzites, H6522 and the Jebusites, H2983 and the Girgashites, H1622 to give H5414 it, I say, to his seed, H2233 and have performed H6965 your words; H1697 for you are righteous: H6662
9
And did see H7200 the affliction H6040 of our fathers H1 in Egypt, H4714 and heard H8085 their cry H2201 by the Red H5488 sea; H3220
10
And showed H5414 signs H226 and wonders H4159 on Pharaoh, H6547 and on all H3605 his servants, H5650 and on all H3605 the people H5971 of his land: H776 for you knew H3045 that they dealt proudly H2102 against H5921 them. So did you get H6213 you a name, H8034 as it is this H2088 day. H3117
11
And you did divide H1234 the sea H3220 before H6440 them, so that they went H5674 through H8432 the middle H8432 of the sea H3220 on the dry H3004 land; and their persecutors H7291 you threw H7993 into the deeps, H4688 as a stone H68 into the mighty H5794 waters. H4325
12
Moreover you led H5148 them in the day H3119 by a cloudy H6051 pillar; H5982 and in the night H3915 by a pillar H5982 of fire, H784 to give them light H216 in the way H1870 wherein H834 they should go. H3212
13
You came H3381 down H3381 also on mount H2022 Sinai, H5514 and spoke H1696 with them from heaven, H8064 and gave H5414 them right H3477 judgments, H4941 and true H571 laws, H8451 good H2896 statutes H2706 and commandments: H4687
14
And made H3045 known H3045 to them your holy H6944 sabbath, H7676 and commanded H6680 them precepts, H4687 statutes, H2706 and laws, H8451 by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 your servant: H5650
15
And gave H5414 them bread H3899 from heaven H8064 for their hunger, H7457 and brought H3318 forth H3318 water H4325 for them out of the rock H5553 for their thirst, H6772 and promised H559 them that they should go H935 in to possess H3423 the land H776 which H834 you had sworn H5375 to give H5414 them.
16
But they and our fathers H1 dealt proudly, H2102 and hardened H7185 their necks, H6203 and listened H8085 not to your commandments, H4687
17
And refused H3985 to obey, H8085 neither H3808 were mindful H2142 of your wonders H6381 that you did H6213 among H5973 them; but hardened H7185 their necks, H6203 and in their rebellion H4805 appointed H5414 a captain H7218 to return H7725 to their bondage: H5659 but you are a God H433 ready to pardon, H5547 gracious H2587 and merciful, H7349 slow H750 to anger, H639 and of great H7227 kindness, H2617 and forsook H5800 them not.
18
Yes, H637 when H3588 they had made H6213 them a molten H4541 calf, H5695 and said, H559 This H2088 is your God H430 that brought H5927 you up out of Egypt, H4714 and had worked H6213 great H1419 provocations; H5007
19
Yet you in your manifold H7227 mercies H7356 forsook H5800 them not in the wilderness: H4057 the pillar H5982 of the cloud H6051 departed H5493 not from them by day, H3119 to lead H5148 them in the way; H1870 neither the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night, H3915 to show them light, H216 and the way H1870 wherein H834 they should go. H3212
20
You gave H5414 also your good H2896 spirit H7307 to instruct H7919 them, and withheld H4513 not your manna H4478 from their mouth, H6310 and gave H5414 them water H4325 for their thirst. H6772
21
Yes, forty H705 years H8141 did you sustain H3557 them in the wilderness, H4057 so that they lacked H2637 nothing; H3808 their clothes H8008 waxed not old, H1086 and their feet H7272 swelled H1216 not.
22
Moreover you gave H5414 them kingdoms H4467 and nations, H5971 and did divide H2505 them into corners: H6285 so they possessed H3423 the land H776 of Sihon, H5511 and the land H776 of the king H4428 of Heshbon, H2809 and the land H776 of Og H5747 king H4428 of Bashan. H1316
23
Their children H1121 also multiplied H7235 you as the stars H3556 of heaven, H8064 and brought H935 them into H413 the land, H776 concerning which H834 you had promised H559 to their fathers, H1 that they should go H935 in to possess H3423 it.
24
So the children H1121 went H935 in and possessed H3423 the land, H776 and you subdued H3665 before H6440 them the inhabitants H3427 of the land, H776 the Canaanites, H3669 and gave H5414 them into their hands, H3027 with their kings, H4428 and the people H5971 of the land, H776 that they might do H6213 with them as they would.
25
And they took H3920 strong H1219 cities, H5892 and a fat H8082 land, H127 and possessed H3423 houses H1004 full H4392 of all H3605 goods, H2898 wells H953 dig, H2672 vineyards, H3754 and olive groves, H2132 and fruit H3978 trees H6086 in abundance: H7230 so they did eat, H398 and were filled, H7646 and became H8080 fat, H8082 and delighted H5727 themselves in your great H1419 goodness. H2898
26
Nevertheless they were disobedient, H4784 and rebelled H4775 against you, and cast H7993 your law H8451 behind H310 their backs, H1458 and slew H2026 your prophets H5030 which H834 testified H5749 against them to turn H7725 them to you, and they worked H6213 great H1419 provocations. H5007
27
Therefore you delivered H5414 them into the hand H3027 of their enemies, H6862 who vexed H6887 them: and in the time H6256 of their trouble, H6869 when they cried H6817 to you, you heard H8085 them from heaven; H8064 and according to your manifold H7227 mercies H7356 you gave H5414 them saviors, H3467 who saved H3467 them out of the hand H3027 of their enemies. H6862
28
But after they had rest, H5117 they did H6213 evil H7451 again H7725 before H6440 you: therefore left H5800 you them in the land H3027 of their enemies, H341 so that they had the dominion H7287 over them: yet when they returned, H7725 and cried H2199 to you, you heard H8085 them from heaven; H8064 and many H7227 times H6256 did you deliver H5337 them according to your mercies; H7356
29
And testified H5749 against them, that you might bring H7725 them again H7725 to your law: H8451 yet they dealt proudly, H2102 and listened H8085 not to your commandments, H4687 but sinned H2398 against your judgments, H4941 (which H834 if a man H120 do, H6213 he shall live H2421 in them;) and withdrew H5414 H5437 the shoulder, H3802 and hardened H7185 their neck, H6203 and would not hear. H8085
30
Yet many H7227 years H8141 did you forbear H4900 them, and testified H5749 against them by your spirit H7307 in your prophets: H5030 yet would they not give ear: H238 therefore gave H5414 you them into the hand H3027 of the people H5971 of the lands. H776
31
Nevertheless for your great H7227 mercies' H7356 sake you did not utterly consume H3615 them, nor H3808 forsake H5800 them; for you are a gracious H2587 and merciful H7349 God. H410
32
Now H6258 therefore, our God, H430 the great, H1419 the mighty, H1368 and the terrible H3372 God, H410 who keep H8104 covenant H1285 and mercy, H2617 let not all H3605 the trouble H8513 seem H4591 little H4591 before H6440 you, that has come H4672 on us, on our kings, H4428 on our princes, H8269 and on our priests, H3548 and on our prophets, H5030 and on our fathers, H1 and on all H3605 your people, H5971 since the time H3117 of the kings H4428 of Assyria H804 to this H2088 day. H3117
33
However, you are just H6662 in all H3605 that is brought H935 on us; for you have done H6213 right, H571 but we have done wickedly: H7561
34
Neither H3808 have our kings, H4428 our princes, H8269 our priests, H3548 nor H3808 our fathers, H1 kept H6213 your law, H8451 nor H3808 listened H7181 to your commandments H4687 and your testimonies, H5715 with which H834 you did testify H5749 against them.
35
For they have not served H5647 you in their kingdom, H4438 and in your great H7227 goodness H2898 that you gave H5414 them, and in the large H7342 and fat H8082 land H776 which H834 you gave H5414 before H6440 them, neither H3808 turned H7725 they from their wicked H7451 works. H4611
36
Behold, H2009 we are servants H5650 this day, H3117 and for the land H776 that you gave H5414 to our fathers H1 to eat H398 the fruit H6529 thereof and the good H2898 thereof, behold, H2009 we are servants H5650 in it:
37
And it yields H7235 much H7235 increase H8393 to the kings H4428 whom H834 you have set H5414 over H5921 us because of our sins: H2403 also they have dominion H4910 over H5921 our bodies, H1472 and over H5921 our cattle, H929 at their pleasure, H7522 and we are in great H1419 distress. H6869
38
And because of all H3605 this H2063 we make H3772 a sure H548 covenant, and write H3789 it; and our princes, H8269 Levites, H3881 and priests, H3548 seal H2856 to it.
Psalm 30:5
For his anger H639 endures but a moment; H7281 in his favor H7522 is life: H2416 weeping H1065 may endure H3885 for a night, H6153 but joy H7440 comes in the morning. H1242
Psalm 126:1
A Song H7892 of degrees. H4609 When the LORD H3068 turned H7725 again the captivity H7622 of Zion, H6726 we were like them that dream. H2472
Psalm 126:2
Then H227 was our mouth H6310 filled H4390 with laughter, H7814 and our tongue H3956 with singing: H7440 then H227 said H559 they among the heathen, H1471 The LORD H3068 has done H6213 great H1431 things for them.
Psalm 126:5
They that sow H2232 in tears H1832 shall reap H7114 in joy. H7440
Psalm 126:6
He that goes H3212 forth and weeps, H1058 bearing H5375 precious H4901 seed, H2233 shall doubtless come H935 again with rejoicing, H7440 bringing H5375 his sheaves H485 with him.
Isaiah 22:12
And in that day H3117 did the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 call H7121 to weeping, H1065 and to mourning, H4553 and to baldness, H7144 and to girding H2296 with sackcloth: H8242
Isaiah 22:13
And behold H2009 joy H8342 and gladness, H8057 slaying H2026 oxen, H1241 and killing H7819 sheep, H6629 eating H398 flesh, H1320 and drinking H8354 wine: H3196 let us eat H398 and drink; H8354 for to morrow H4279 we shall die. H4191
Matthew 9:15
And Jesus G2424 said G4483 to them, Can G1410 the children G5207 of the bridal chamber G3567 mourn, G3996 as long G1909 as the bridegroom G3566 is with them? but the days G2250 will come, G2064 when G3752 the bridegroom G3566 shall be taken G522 from them, and then G5119 shall they fast. G3522

John 16:20-22
20
Truly, G281 truly, G281 I say G3004 to you, That you shall weep G2799 and lament, G2354 but the world G2889 shall rejoice: G5463 and you shall be sorrowful, G3076 but your G5216 sorrow G3077 shall be turned G1096 into G1519 joy. G5479
21
A woman G1135 when G3752 she is in travail G5088 has G2192 sorrow, G3077 because G3754 her hour G5610 is come: G2064 but as soon G3752 as she is delivered G1080 of the child, G3813 she remembers G3421 no G3765 more G2089 the anguish, G2347 for joy G5479 that a man G444 is born G1080 into G1519 the world. G2889
22
And you now G3568 therefore G3767 have G2192 sorrow: G3077 but I will see G3700 you again, G3825 and your G5216 heart G2588 shall rejoice, G5463 and your G5216 joy G5479 no G3762 man G3762 takes G142 from you.
Romans 12:15
Rejoice G5463 with them that do rejoice, G5463 and weep G2799 with them that weep. G2799
2 Corinthians 7:10
For godly G2596 G2316 sorrow G3077 works G2716 repentance G3341 to salvation G4991 not to be repented G278 of: but the sorrow G3077 of the world G2889 works G2716 death. G2288
James 4:9
Be afflicted, G5003 and mourn, G3996 and weep: G2799 let your G5216 laughter G1071 be turned G3344 to mourning, G3997 and your G3588 joy G5479 to heaviness. G2726

But the angel G32 said G2036 to him, Fear G5399 not, Zacharias: G2197 for your prayer G1162 is heard; G1522 and your wife G1135 Elisabeth G1665 shall bear G1080 you a son, G5207 and you shall call G2564 his name G3686 John. G2491

And her neighbors G4040 and her cousins G4773 heard G191 how G3754 the Lord G2962 had showed G3170 great G3170 mercy G1656 on her; and they rejoiced G4796 with her.
Luke 6:21-25
21
Blessed G3107 are you that hunger G3983 now: G3568 for you shall be filled. G5526 Blessed G3107 are you that weep G2799 now: G3568 for you shall laugh. G1070
22
Blessed G3107 are you, when G3752 men G444 shall hate G3404 you, and when G3752 they shall separate G873 you from their company, and shall reproach G3679 you, and cast G1544 out your G5216 name G3686 as evil, G4190 for the Son G5207 of man's G444 sake. G1752
23
Rejoice G5463 you in that day, G2250 and leap G4640 for joy: for, behold, G2400 your G5216 reward G3408 is great G4183 in heaven: G3772 for in the like G5024 manner did G4160 their fathers G3962 to the prophets. G4396
24
But woe G3759 to you that are rich! G4145 for you have received G568 your G5216 consolation. G3874
25
Woe G3759 to you that are full! G1705 for you shall hunger. G3983 Woe G3759 to you that laugh G1070 now! G3568 for you shall mourn G3996 and weep. G2799

And as the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 came H935 into the city H5892 of David, H1732 Michal H4324 Saul's H7586 daughter H1323 looked H8259 through H1157 a window, H2474 and saw H7200 king H4428 David H1732 leaping H6339 and dancing H3769 before H6440 the LORD; H3068 and she despised H959 him in her heart. H3820
