Christian celebrity Candace Cameron Bure couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she read this Bible verse from Job. And now, she’s sharing the scripture that had her cracking up!
When most people think of the Book of Job, laughter is not commonly associated with it. Job, in the Bible's Old Testament, tells the story of Job – a righteous man of God. The Lord had blessed Job. He was a wealthy man with a wife, many children and an abundance of livestock.

However, Job's life soon took a dramatic turn. Satan told God that Job would not praise Him if all his material blessings, family and health were taken away. So, that's what happened – everything was taken from Job. But Satan was proven wrong, and Job continued to praise God.
This Bible Verse From Job Sparks Laughter
Later in the book, as Candace mentions, as Job is enduring these hardships, he has individuals giving him advice. Their advice is not helpful for what he is going through, and it is one Bible verse in which Job responds to them that caused the "Fuller House" actress to react with laughter.

"There's a line in there that he says back to them, and I'm paraphrasing: ‘If only you would just shut your mouth, and let that be your wisdom,'" she said. "I was like, ‘Job, that's so smart.'
She added: "Sometimes people think they are so wise, and I'm, like, if you'd only shut your mouth and being wise from keeping silent. It made me laugh out loud reading that in the Bible."
One of the nation's presidents, Abraham Lincoln, has a quote often credited to him that also expresses this idea. "It is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."
