Ecclesiastes, 2:1

I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also was vanity.

I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure and gratification; so enjoy yourself and have a good time.” But behold, this too was vanity (futility, meaninglessness).

I SAID in my mind, Come now, I will prove you with mirth and test you with pleasure; so have a good time [enjoy pleasure]. But this also was vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility)! [Luke 12:19, 20.

I said in my heart: "I will go forth and overflow with delights, and I will enjoy good things." And I saw that this, too, is emptiness.

I said to myself, “Go ahead, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good.” But it turned out to be futile.

I said to myself, Come, I will make you experience pleasure; enjoy what is good! But this too was pointless!

I said to myself, “Come now, I will test myself with pleasure and enjoying good things”; but this too was pointless.

I said to myself, “Have fun and enjoy yourself!” But this didn't make sense.

I said in my heart, Come now, I will try thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure. But behold, this also is vanity.

I said in my heart: I will go, and abound with delights, and enjoy good things. And I saw that this also was vanity.

I said to myself, ‘I will enjoy the good things of life. I will see if that helps me to be happy.’ But I realized that this too had no purpose.

I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity.

I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good!” But it proved to be futile.

So then I thought to myself, “Alright, let me examine pleasure and see how good that is.” But this too turned out to be something temporary that passes.

I thought to myself, “Now I want to experiment with pleasure and enjoy myself.” But even this was pointless.

I said in mine heart, Goe to nowe, I will proue thee with ioy: therefore take thou pleasure in pleasant things: and beholde, this also is vanitie.

I decided to enjoy myself and find out what happiness is. But I found that this is useless, too.

I said to myself, “Go ahead, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good.” But it turned out to be futile.

I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with gladness, so that you shall see good things.” And behold, it too was vanity.

I said to myself, “Come! I will test pleasure to see whether it is worthwhile.” But look, “This also is vanity!”

And I said in my heart, “Come, and I will test you with selfish pleasures to experience desires.” And notice that this too is vanity.

I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure. So enjoy yourself.” And behold, it too was futility.

I thought to myself, “Come now, I will try self-indulgent pleasure to see if it is worthwhile.” But I found that it also is futile.

I said to myself, “Come on. I’ll try out pleasure. I want to find out if it is good.” But it also proved to be meaningless.

I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless.

I said to myself, ‘Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.’ But that also proved to be meaningless.

I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure”; but surely, this also was vanity.

I said to myself, “Come on, let’s try pleasure. Let’s look for the ‘good things’ in life.” But I found that this, too, was meaningless.

I said to myself, “Come now, I will make a test of pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But again, this also was vanity.

God made everything First of all, a long time ago, God made everything. He made the sky, and he made the earth. He made all the things that are everywhere. The earth didn’t have any shape. It d

I said to myself, “Come now, I will make a test of pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity.

I said in my heart, “Come now, let me try you with rejoicing and find out what is good.” But see, that too was futile.

I said within myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to see what is good.” Yet behold, this too was meaningless.

I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure;” and behold, this also was vanity.

Therefore I said in mine heart, I shall go, and I shall flow in delights, and I shall use goods; and I saw also that this was vanity.

I said in my heart, ‘Pray, come, I try thee with mirth, and look thou on gladness;’ and lo, even it [is] vanity.
