Job 8:21

²Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

⁶Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

⁶He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

¹¹Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!

²¹Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

¹¹They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to the LORD, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the LORD’s house had been laid.

¹²But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy, ¹³so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.

¹³Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed. ¹⁴Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.

¹Shout for joy to the LORD, all you lands!

²²You will laugh at destruction and famine, neither will you be afraid of the animals of the earth.

⁴³They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even far away.
