Ecclesiastes 2:1-11
I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also was vanity.I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What doeth it?I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared;I bought men- servants and maid- servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I gat me men- singers and women- singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts.So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor.Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows shall be darkened,and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;yea, they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors shall be in the way; and the almond- tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:
