Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 8 of Nehemiah. The people weep when they hear the Law, but Nehemiah, Ezra, and the Levites call them to recognize the holiness of the day and celebrate. Sorrow over awareness of sin is not rejected, but neither does it become the assembly’s final destination. The Word leads to a communal response of joy and generosity.

Darum sprach er zu ihnen: Geht hin und eßt das Fette und trinkt das Süße und sendet denen auch Teile, die nichts für sich bereitet haben; denn dieser Tag ist heilig unserm HERRN. Und bekümmert euch nicht; denn die Freude am HERRN ist eure Stärke.
Díjoles luego: Id, comed grosuras, y bebed vino dulce, y enviad porciones a los que no tienen prevenido; porque día santo es a nuestro Señor: y no os entristezcáis, porque el gozo de Jehová es vuestra fortaleza.
Les dijo: «Vayan, coman manjares y beban bebidas dulces, y envíen porciones a quien no tenga nada preparado, porque este día es santo para nuestro Señor. No se entristezcan, porque el gozo de Jehová es su fortaleza».
Ils leur dirent: Allez, mangez des viandes grasses et buvez des liqueurs douces, et envoyez des portions à ceux qui n'ont rien de préparé, car ce jour est consacré à notre Seigneur; ne vous affligez pas, car la joie de l'Eternel sera votre force.
Poi Neemia disse loro: Andate, mangiate vivande grasse, e bevete vini dolci, e mandate delle porzioni a quelli che non hanno nulla d’apparecchiato; perciocchè questo giorno è sacro al Signore nostro, e non vi contristate; conciossiachè l’allegrezza del Signore sia la vostra forza.
Disse-lhes mais: Ide, comei as gorduras, e bebei as doçuras, e enviai porções aos que não têm nada preparado para si; porque este dia é consagrado ao nosso Senhor; portanto não vos entristeçais; porque a alegria do SENHOR é a vossa força.
尼希米 對他們說:「你們去吃肥美的,喝甘甜的,有不能預備的就分給他,因為今日是我們主的聖日。你們不要憂愁,因靠耶和華而得的喜樂是你們的力量。」
