"All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."

Nikolay23September 2019 Jest means joke |
vincentSeptember 2019 Thanks exRanger
exRangerSeptember 2019 "Jest" can also signify an amusing "prank" or activity", "a playful or witty remark", as well as a joke, though a "jest" is usually not as obvious a ploy to elicit laughter as a "joke".
