Ecclesiastes 2:1-3 I said in my heart, I will give you joy for a test; so take your pleasure--but it was to no purpose.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I said in my heart, I will give you joy for a test; so take your pleasure--but it was to no purpose. ² Of laughing I said, It is foolish; and of joy--What use is it? ³ I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.
