Thematic Bible: Joy, earthly


Thematic Bible




that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the profane but for a moment?

And whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them. I did not withhold my heart from any joy. For my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.

For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field. And in the vineyards there shall be no singing nor joyful noise. No treader shall tread out wine in the presses. I have made the [vintage] shout to cease.

Be ye sorrowful, and mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into a downcast look.
