Chapter 2

KJV - Ecclesiastes 2:3

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.

I wanted to enjoy wine while also being wise, and to understand foolishness so I could know what was good for people to do under the sun during their lives.
