Repeated Words in a Single Verse

I noticed that some form of the word "joy" occurs five times in Nehemiah 12:43. That's a lot!

 

Does any other verse in the Bible contain this many instances of the same word (excluding "the," "and," etc.)?

 

How would I search for that?

You can use the Construct window, create one column with the Word item, enter an *. Add a count item specifying that the word occurs say 50 to 5000 times in the entire text. Drag the two items to as many columns as you want to search. Then add the Agree Word item between each column. The search takes a while, but it seems to work. Here is a screenshot.

Using 50 to 500 words cuts out many more common words:
