13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, and rejoicing may end in grief.
13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief.
13 Sure, those people appear to be having a good time, but all that laughter will end in heartbreak. Sift and Weigh Every Word
13 Even in laughter the heart may sorrow, And the end of mirth may be grief.
13 Laughter can conceal a heavy heart, but when the laughter ends, the grief remains.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 14:13
Commentary on Proverbs 14:12-13
(Read Proverbs 14:12-13)
The ways of carelessness, of worldliness, and of sensuality, seem right to those that walk in them; but self-deceivers prove self-destroyers. See the vanity of carnal mirth.
