Ecclesiastes 2:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² I said of laughter, “It is madness,” and of joy, “What does it accomplish?”

³ I sought in my heart to give myself to wine while leading my heart in wisdom, and to take hold of folly until I might see what goodness there is for the children of men to do under the heaven all the days of their life.

⁴ I have made my great works. I have built myself houses. I have planted vineyards.
