2 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “joy” →
The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea , joy and gladness from the house of our God?
