SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:13
¶ Aun en la risa el burlador tendrá dolor en el corazón; y el término de aquella alegría es congoja.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 14:13
Verse 13. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful ] Many a time is a smile forced upon the face, when the heart is in deep distress. And it is a hard task to put on the face of mirth, when a man has a heavy heart.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful , etc.] As Belshazzar’s was in the midst of his feast and jollity, when he saw the writing on the wall; so sin may stare a man in the face, and guilt load his conscience and fill him with sorrow, amidst his merriment; a man may put on a merry countenance, and feign a laugh, when his heart is very sorrowful; and oftentimes this sorrow comes by sinful laughter, by mocking at sin and jesting at religion; and the end of that mirth [is] heaviness : sometimes in this life a sinner mourns at last, and mourns for his wicked mirth, or that he has made himself so merry with religious persons and things, and oftentimes when it is too late; so the end of that mirth the fool in the Gospel promised himself was heaviness, when his soul was required of him; this was the case of the rich man who had his good things here, and his evil things hereafter.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12 - The ways of carelessness, of worldliness, and of sensuality, seem righ to those that walk in them; but self-deceivers prove self-destroyers See the vanity of carnal mirth.
