我心里想：“来吧，不如尽情享乐，好好享受！”唉！结果这也是虚空。

我自己心里说：“来吧，我用享乐试试你，让你看看有什么好处。”想不到，这也是虚空。

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 in my heart,“ Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, 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,“ Go ahead, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good.” But it turned out to be futile.

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

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

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,“ 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.

And I’ll say to myself,“ You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ (niv)

So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun. (niv)

I said to myself,“ God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”I also said to myself,“ As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. (niv)

They said to each other,“ Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.Then they said,“ Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” (niv)

You who are young, be happy while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. (niv)

You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. (niv)

“ There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. (niv)

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. (niv)

Then I said to myself,“ The fate of the fool will overtake me also. What then do I gain by being wise?” I said to myself,“ This too is meaningless.” (niv)

Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts,‘ I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. (niv)

The Sovereign Lord has opened my ears; I have not been rebellious, I have not turned away. (niv)

When I felt secure, I said,“ I will never be shaken.”Lord, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. (niv)

But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment. (niv)

I said to myself,“ Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.”Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. (niv)

Now listen, you who say,“ Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” (niv)

The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure. (niv)
