Ecclesiastes 2:1-3 I said in my heart, Come now, I will test you with mirth. Therefore, consider with goodness. And behold, this also is vanity.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I said in my heart, Come now, I will test you with mirth. Therefore, consider with goodness. And behold, this also is vanity. ² I said of laughter, it is madness, and of mirth, What does it do? ³ I sought in my heart how to drag my flesh with wine, and leading my heart in wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, until I might see where the good for the sons of men is, that which they should do under the heavens the number of days of their life.
