Ecclesiastes 2:1-3

¹I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good!” But it proved to be futile.

²I said of laughter, “It is folly,” and of pleasure, “What does it accomplish?”

³I sought to cheer my body with wine and to embrace folly — my mind still guiding me with wisdom — until I could see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.
