Ecclesiastes 2:2-4
New King James Version
2 I said of laughter—“Madness!”; and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?” 3 (A)I searched in my heart how [a]to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was (B)good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.
4 I made my works great, I built myself (C)houses, and planted myself vineyards.
