Nehemiah 8:9
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
Dixit autem Nehemias (ipse est Athersatha) et Esdras sacerdos et scriba, et Levitæ interpretantes universo populo : Dies sanctificatus est Domino Deo nostro : nolite lugere, et nolite flere. Flebat enim omnis populus cum audiret verba legis.
Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to all of them, “This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people were weeping as they heard the words of the Law.
