I agree that the Lord is not laughing at anyone who is spiritually sincere. But even a genuine Christian gets contaminated with insincerity. So, the Lord can laugh at any one of us.

[JesseShurun]

He can but did He laugh or weep at what was to befall Jerusalem? The same is true today as it was in Jeremiah's time. The fault lies primarily with the shepherds,prophets who get full of each other's knowledge and begin to speak as from God, words that God did not speak.

Who is more important, the prophet or the sheep? When the prophet thinks he is, he is just a pharisee.

[philman_36]

Psalms 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
