Thematic Bible: Joy, earthly


Thematic Bible




The exultation of the wicked is short, and the joy of the ungodly man but for a moment?

And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them: I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour, and this was my portion from all my labour.

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

And joy and gladness is taken away out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there is no singing, neither is there shouting: the treaders tread out no wine in the presses, I have made the cry of the winepress to cease.

Be wretched, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
