SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:13
Y el pueblo no podía discernir la voz del júbilo de alegría, de la voz del lloro del pueblo; porque el pueblo jubilaba con gran júbilo, y la voz se oía hasta lejos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people , etc.] That is, not clearly and distinctly, they were so mixed and confounded together, and made such a jarring and discord: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off ; the shouting being of young people, whose voice was strongest, and they the most numerous, the noise of shouting prevailed over the noise of weeping; and it was heard further, and at a distance appeared more distinctly to be the noise of shouting, that of weeping not reaching so far; though Jarchi is of opinion that the noise of weeping was heard further than the noise of shouting, which is not likely.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - There was a remarkable mixture of affections upon laying the foundatio of the temple. Those that only knew the misery of having no temple a all, praised the Lord with shouts of joy. To them, even this foundatio seemed great. We ought to be thankful for the beginnings of mercy though it be not yet perfect. But those who remembered the glory of the first temple, and considered how far inferior this was likely to be wept with a loud voice. There was reason for it, and if they bewaile the sin that was the cause of this melancholy change, they did well Yet it was wrong to cast a damp upon the common joys. They despised the day of small things, and were unthankful for the good they enjoyed. Le not the remembrance of former afflictions drown the sense of presen mercies __________________________________________________________________
