I said to myself, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure. So enjoy yourself." And behold, it too was futility.
Ecclesiastes 2:1
I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
I said of laughter, "It is senseless," and of pleasure, "What does this accomplish?"
Ecclesiastes 2:2
I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
I explored with my mind how to refresh my body with wine while my mind was guiding me wisely; and how to seize foolishness, until I could see what good there is for the sons of mankind to do under heaven for the few years of their lives.
Ecclesiastes 2:3
I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
