'Laughing' in the Bible

ז ZayinDuring the days of her affliction and homelessnessJerusalem remembers all her precious belongingsthat were hers in days of old.When her people fell into the adversary’s hand,she had no one to help.The adversaries looked at her,laughing over her downfall.

“Leave,” He said, “because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” And they started laughing at Him.

They started laughing at Him, but He put them all outside. He took the child’s father, mother, and those who were with Him, and entered the place where the child was.

Woe to you who are now full,for you will be hungry.Woe to you who are now laughing,for you will mourn and weep.

They started laughing at Him, because they knew she was dead.
