Ecclesiastes 2:2 I said of laughter, "It is madness," and of pleasure, "What does it accomplish?"
Proverbs 14:13 Even in laughter the heart may be in pain, And the end of joy may be grief.
Ecclesiastes 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.
Ecclesiastes 7:6 For as the crackling of thorn bushes under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool; And this too is futility.
