Ecclesiastes 2:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ I thought about wine. If I drink a lot of wine, I thought that might make me happy. I might enjoy foolish things. I used wisdom to think about this. People only live for a short time on the earth. I thought this might be the best way for people to enjoy life.

⁴ I also did a lot of great things for myself. I built houses. I planted vineyards. ⁵ I made gardens and fields of trees. I planted many different kinds of fruit trees in them.
