11 And they began to respond by praising+ and giving thanks to Jehovah, “for he is good,+ for his loving-kindness* toward Israel is to time indefinite.”+ As for all the people, they shouted with a loud shout+ in praising Jehovah over the laying of the foundation of the house of Jehovah.

43 And they proceeded to sacrifice on that day great sacrifices+ and to rejoice,+ for the [true] God himself caused them to rejoice with great joy.+ And also the women+ and the children+ themselves rejoiced, so that the rejoicing of Jerusalem could be heard far away.+
