'Laughter' in the Bible

Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

“He will yet fill your mouth with laughterAnd your lips with shouting.

Then our mouth was filled with laughterAnd our tongue with joyful shouting;Then they said among the nations,“The Lord has done great things for them.”

Even in laughter the heart may be in pain,And the end of joy may be grief.

I said of laughter, “It is madness,” and of pleasure, “What does it accomplish?”

Sorrow is better than laughter,For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.

For as the crackling of thorn bushes under a pot,So is the laughter of the fool;And this too is futility.

Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.
