Ecclesiastes 2:1-3 - Qohelet's Investigation Of Self-Indulgence
1 Then said I thus in my heart, "Now go to, I will take mine ease and have good days." But lo, that was vanity also: 2 insomuch that I said unto laughter, "Thou art mad," and to mirth, "What doest thou?" 3 So I thought in my heart, to withdraw my flesh from wine, to apply my mind unto wisdom, and to comprehend foolishness until the time that among all the things which are under the Sun, I might see what were best for men to do, so long as they live under heaven.
