Ecclesiastes 2:3

King James Version

I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

Berean Standard Bible

I sought to cheer my body with wine and to embrace folly - my mind still guiding me with wisdom - until I could see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

World English Bible

I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold of folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their lives.
