### Description
Exclamations are words or sentences that show strong feeling such as surprise, joy, fear, or anger. In the ULB and UDB, they usually have an exclamation mark (!) at the end. The mark shows that it is an exclamation. The situation and the meaning of what the people say helps us understand what feelings they were expressing. In the example below from Matthew 8, the speakers were terribly afraid. In the example from Matthew 9, the speakers were amazed, because something happened that they had never seen before.
>Save us, Lord; we are about to die! (Matthew 8:25 ULB)
>When the demon had been driven out, the mute man spoke. The crowds were astonished and said, "This has never been seen before in Israel!" (Matthew 9:33 ULB)

### Examples from the Bible
Some exclamations do not have any special sentence structure or vocabulary, but they are said in a way that shows the feeling.
>Save us, Lord; we are about to die! (Matthew 8:25 ULB)
In the example above, the speakers were terribly afraid and probably shouted or cried out what they were saying.
>When the demon had been driven out, the mute man spoke. The crowds were astonished and said, "This has never been seen before in Israel!" (Matthew 9:33 ULB)
In the example above the speakers were amazed, because something happened that they had never seen before. Their voices probably showed how they felt.
Some exclamations have a word that shows feeling. The sentences below have "Oh" and "Ah." The word "oh" here shows the speaker's amazement.
><u>Oh</u>, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! (Romans 11:33 ULB)
