Thematic Bible: Joy of, brief
Thematic Bible
Sinners » Disowned » Joy of, brief
Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief.
I did not restrain myself from getting whatever I wanted; I did not deny myself anything that would bring me pleasure. So all my accomplishments gave me joy; this was my reward for all my effort.
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.
Joy and happiness disappear from the orchards, and in the vineyards no one rejoices or shouts; no one treads out juice in the wine vats -- I have brought the joyful shouts to an end.
Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter into mourning and your joy into despair.
