 3አሁንም አእምሮዬ በጥበብ እየመራኝ ራሴን በወይን ጠጅ ደስ ለማሰኘት፣ ሞኝነትንም ለመያዝ ሞከርሁ፤ ሰዎች በአጭር የሕይወት ዘመናቸው ከሰማይ በታች ባለው ላይ ቢሠሩት ሊጠቅማቸው የሚችል ምን እንደሆነ ለማየት ፈለግሁ።
2:3 I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.
