¹⁰ Now go home and have a feast. Share your food and wine with those who don't have enough. Today is holy to our Lord, so don't be sad. The joy that the Lord gives you will make you strong.”

¹¹ The Levites went around calming the people and telling them not to be sad on such a holy day. ¹² So all the people went home and ate and drank joyfully and shared what they had with others, because they understood what had been read to them.
