For¹ as the cracklingª of thornsª under¹ a pot,ª so¹ [is] the laughterª of the fool:ª this¹ also¹ [is] vanity.ª" {Ecc 7:2-6} + "Even¹ in laughterª the heartª is sorrowful;ª° and the endª of that mirthª [is] heaviness.ª" {Prv 14:13} + "And in that¹ dayª did the Lordª GODª of hostsª callª° to weeping,ª and to mourning,ª and to baldness,ª and to girdingª° with sackcloth:ª ... And behold¹ joyª and gladness,ª slayingª° oxen,ª and killingª° sheep,ª eatingª° flesh,ª and drinkingª° wine:ª let us eatª° and drink;ª° for¹ to morrowª we shall die.ª°" {Isa 22:12-13} + "Ye that put far awayª° the evilª day,ª and cause the seatª° of violenceª to come near;ª° ...
