But there came another difficulty. Lamentation and weeping and mourning was heard because the temple was not outwardly so glorious as the first. There were those who used their conversational powers to talk of the inferiority of the building to the one built by Solomon. Mingled with music and singing, with rejoicing and praise to God, was an inharmonious sound, not of joy or praise or thanksgiving, but of dissatisfaction. [Ezra 3:12 quoted.]{3BC 1134.1}

(1134)Men der kom en anden vanskelighed. Klagesang, gråd og knurren blev hørt fordi templet ikke udvendigt var så herligt som det første. Der var dem som brugte deres sammenkomster til at omtale bygningens om mere tarvelig end den Salomon byggede. Blandet med musik og sang, med glæde og pris til Gud, var der en uharmonisk lyd, ikke af glæde, pris eller tak men af utilfredshed. [Ezra 3,12 citeret.]
