Proverbs 14:13

Context

14:13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, 1 

and the end 2  of joy may be 3  grief.

1 sn No joy is completely free of grief. There is a joy that is superficial and there is underlying pain that will remain after the joy is gone.

2 tn Heb “and its end, joy, is grief.” The suffix may be regarded as an Aramaism, a proleptic suffix referring to “joy.”

3 tn The phrase “may be” is not in the Hebrew but is supplied from the parallelism, which features an imperfect of possibility.
