Proverbs14:13

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

The outward signs of joy are commonly mixed with or end in real and hearty sorrow. The design of the Proverb is to declare the vanity of all worldly joys and comforts, and to teach men moderation in them, and to persuade us to seek for more solid and durable joys.
