Without joy a servant of God will become spiritually weak, as Nehemiah told his countrymen: “Joy in the LORD is your strength. ” ​ — Nehemiah 8: 10, The New English Bible.
Ilma rõõmuta muutub Jumala sulane vaimselt nõrgaks, nagu Nehemja oma kaasmaalastele ütles: „Rõõm Jehoova ees on teie tugevus. ” — Nehemja 8: 10, Suur Piibel.
