Thematic Bible: Manifested in laughter


Thematic Bible




Sorrow is better than laughter, for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made glad.

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

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

Woe to you who are filled now, because ye will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, because ye will mourn and weep.

I said of laughter, It is mad, and of mirth, What does it do?
