Jesus went on to say, "There was once a man who had two sons.

The younger one said to him, 'Father, give me my share of the property now.' So the man divided his property between his two sons.

They are like children sitting in the marketplace. One group shouts to the other, 'We played wedding music for you, but you wouldn't dance! We sang funeral songs, but you wouldn't cry!'

The prophet Miriam, Aaron's sister, took her tambourine, and all the women followed her, playing tambourines and dancing.

David, wearing only a linen cloth around his waist, danced with all his might to honor the LORD.

You have changed my sadness into a joyful dance; you have taken away my sorrow and surrounded me with joy.

When the LORD brought us back to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!

Praise his name with dancing; play drums and harps in praise of him.

Praise him with drums and dancing. Praise him with harps and flutes.

He sets the time for sorrow and the time for joy, the time for mourning and the time for dancing,

Once again I will rebuild you. Once again you will take up your tambourines and dance joyfully.
