Contextual Overview

¹ It is better to have respect than good perfume. The day of death is better than the day of birth. ² It is better to go to a funeral than to a party. We all must die, and everyone living should think about this. ³ Sorrow is better than laughter, and sadness has a good influence on you. ⁴ A wise person thinks about death, but a fool thinks only about having a good time. ⁵ It is better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool. ⁶ The laughter of fools is like the crackling of thorns in a cooking fire. Both are useless.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so [is] the laughter of the fool,.... As thorns are weak, useless, and unprofitable; yea, hurtful and pernicious, and only fit for burning; so are foolish and wicked men, 2 Samuel 23:6; and as the noise and sound of the one under a pot is very short, they make a blaze for a while, and is soon over; so though the laughter of a fool is loud and noisy, it makes no melody, no more than the noise of thorns; and is but for a moment, and will be soon changed for weeping and howling, which will last for ever; see Job 20:5;

this also [is] vanity; the carnal mirth of wicked men.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As the crackling of thorns - Noisy while it lasts, and quickly extinguished. See Psalms 58:9 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ecclesiastes 7:6. For as the crackling of thorns — They make a great noise, a great blaze; and are extinguished in a few moments. Such indeed, comparatively, are the joys of life; they are noisy, flashy, and transitory.
