The Outcry At The Building Of The Second Temple
Yet many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, while many shouted aloud for joy, so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the shout of joy from the sound of the weeping of the people, because the people were shouting with a loud shout, and the sound was heard far away. -(Ezra 12-13)
Addendum: Although I copied the above text, I still do not feel worthy enough to have done so.
