Ecclesiastes 2:1-3 - Qohelet's Investigation Of Self-Indulgence
1 I Said in my heart, Go now, I will prove thee with gladness, and look thou upon good: and behold, this also vanity. 2 To laughter I said, It is mad: and to gladness, What did this? 3 I examined in my heart to draw my flesh with wine, and my heart led in wisdom; and to lay hold upon folly till that I shall see what this good to the sons of man which they will do under the heavens the number of the days of their life.
