Sadness & Loss
🕊️ Weeping beside Ezra 3:13
When weeping is loud, Ezra 3:13 is a sentence you can borrow. “so 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.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

Parent tip
If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Ezra 3:13 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
