Proverbs 14:13 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful Do not think that every one that laughs is happy, or that profuse and immoderate joy is true pleasure, for the outward signs of it are often mixed with, or end in, real sadness: nay, such is the vanity of this present life, that there is no joy without a mixture of sorrow, which often immediately follows upon it.

Proverbs 14:13

13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
