Ecclesiastes 2:2-4

Young's Literal Translation

² Of laughter I said, `Foolish!' and of mirth, `What [is] this it is doing?'

³ I have sought in my heart to draw out with wine my appetite, (and my heart leading in wisdom), and to take hold on folly till that I see where [is] this -- the good to the sons of man of that which they do under the heavens, the number of the days of their lives.

⁴ I made great my works, I builded for me houses, I planted for me vineyards.
