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.+

17 Thus all the congregation of those who had come back from the captivity made booths and took up dwelling in the booths; for the sons of Israel had not done that way from the days of Joshua* the son of Nun+ until that day, so that there came to be very great rejoicing.+

10 And the very ones redeemed by Jehovah will return+ and certainly come to Zion with a joyful cry;+ and rejoicing to time indefinite will be upon their head.+ To exultation and rejoicing they will attain, and grief and sighing must flee away.+

11 Then the redeemed ones of Jehovah themselves will return and must come to Zion with a joyful outcry,+ and rejoicing to time indefinite will be upon their head.+ To exultation and rejoicing they will attain.+ Grief and sighing will certainly flee away.+

4 Yet shall I rebuild you and you will actually be rebuilt,+ O virgin of Israel. You will yet deck yourself with your tambourines and actually go forth in the dance of those who are laughing.+
