Ecclesiastes 2:1-3

1I said to myself, “Go ahead, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good.” But it turned out to be futile.

2I said about laughter, “It is madness,” and about pleasure, “What does this accomplish?”

3I explored with my mind the pull of wine on my body — my mind still guiding me with wisdom — and how to grasp folly, until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.
