Try Job 9:23 (CEV) = "When a good person dies a sudden death, God sits back and laughs."
Psalm 2:1-6 (MSG) = "Why the big noise, nations? Why the mean plots, peoples? Earth-leaders push for position, Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks, The God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers: “Let’s get free of God! Cast loose from Messiah!” Heaven-throned God breaks out laughing. At first he’s amused at their presumption; Then he gets good and angry. Furiously, he shuts them up: “Don’t you know there’s a King in Zion? A coronation banquet Is spread for him on the holy summit.”
Psalm 37:13 (CEV) = "but the Lord laughs and knows their time is coming soon."
Psalm 59:8 (CEV) = "You, Lord, laugh at them and sneer at the nations."
Zephaniah 3:17 (ERV) = "The Lord your God is with you. He is like a powerful soldier. He will save you. He will show how much he loves you and how happy he is with you. He will laugh and be happy about you,"
2 Chronicles 7:20 (CEB) = "then I will uproot you from my land that I gave you, and I will reject this temple that I made holy for my name. I will make it a joke, insulted by everyone."
Psalm 59:8-10 (MSG) = "But you, God, break out laughing; you treat the godless nations like jokes. Strong God, I’m watching you do it, I can always count on you. God in dependable love shows up on time, shows me my enemies in ruin."
