Ecclesiastes 2:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² Laughing and having fun is crazy. What good does it do? ³ I wanted to find out what was best for us during the short time we have on this earth. So I decided to make myself happy with wine and find out what it means to be foolish, without really being foolish myself.

^4 (A) I did some great things. I built houses and planted vineyards.
