12 And many of the priests+ and the Levites and the heads of the paternal+ houses, the old men that had seen the former house,+ were weeping+ with a loud voice at the laying of the foundation+ of this house before their eyes, while many others were raising the voice in shouting for joy.+

3 ‘Who is there among YOU that is remaining over who saw this house in its former glory?+ And how are YOU people seeing it now? Is it not, in comparison with that, as nothing in YOUR eyes?’+
