Ecclesiastes 2:3, 12

Ecclesiastes 2:3 ESV

I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life.

Ecclesiastes 2:12 ESV

So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what has already been done.
