want het lachen van den dwaas is gelijk het kraken der doornen onder een pot: dit is ook ijdelheid.
Want gelijk het geluid der doornen onder een pot is, alzo is het lachen eens zots. Dit is ook ijdelheid.

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.
