Ecclesiastes 2:1

Young's Literal Translation YLT

New International Version NIV

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

1 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.
