Ecclesiastes 7:6

Ecclesiastes 7:6 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

6Like the crackling of thorns under the pot,

so is the laughter of fools.

This too is meaningless.

6For as the 7:6 Lit voicecrackling of thorn bushes under a pot,

So is the laughter of the fool;

And this too is futility.

6For as the crackling of thorn bushes under a pot,

So is the laughter of the fool;

And this too is futility.

6For like the crackling of [burning] thorn bushes under a pot,

So is the laughter of the fool;

And this too is vanity (futility).

6For like the crackling of thorns under the pot,

so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile.

6A foolish person’s laughter

is like the crackling of thorns burning under a pot.

That doesn’t have any meaning either.
