Ecclesiastes 2:1-3

1I saidH559 in my heartH3820, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasureH8057: and, behold, this alsoH1571 was vanityH1892.

2I saidH559 of laughterH7814, It is mad; and of mirth, What doeth it?

3I searched in my heartH3820 how to cheer my fleshH1320 with wineH3196, my heartH3820 yet guiding me with wisdomH2451, and how to lay holdH270 on follyH5531, till I might seeH7200 what it was goodH2896 for the sonsH1121 of menH120 that they should do under heavenH8064 all the daysH3117 of their life.
