The tax collector prayed, “God, be merciful to me a sinner” and went home justified, or declared righteous (Luke 18:13). How do we explain this when he didn’t offer any sacrifices? He offered what God wanted: “the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart” (Psalm 51:16-17).

The men who remembered Solomon's temple wept when they saw the new foundation. It was smaller. Plainer. Poorer.
And God said its glory would be GREATER.
He wasn't talking about the building.

The old men who had seen Solomon's temple wept when they saw the new foundation.
Not because the work was bad. Because it wasn't what they remembered.
God's answer to discouraged builders was one word: Work.
