Thematic Bible: Manifested in laughter


Thematic Bible




Sorrow is better than laughter, because sober reflection is good for the heart.

For like the crackling of quick-burning thorns under a cooking pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This kind of folly also is useless.

Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter into mourning and your joy into despair.

"Woe to you who are well satisfied with food now, for you will be hungry. "Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

I said of partying, "It is folly," and of self-indulgent pleasure, "It accomplishes nothing!"
