Thanks. I wasn't thinking of OT references, and couldn't bring to mind anytime in the NT that suggests Jesus would laugh at the day of judgement.

Regarding the references you made - the one in Proverbs is "Wisdom" laughing. And the other

"The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming."

Most translations say that the Lord laughs, not the Lord will laugh. And besides that, contextually, it seems to me he's laughing at their foolishness in this present life, not in the future as they suffer damnation.
