Ecclesiastes 2:1

Septuagint · public domain

Thomson 1808

I SAID in my heart, Come now let me try thee with pleasure. Take a view of that considered as a good. But behold this also is vanity.

Brenton 1851

I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth, and behold thou good: and, behold, this is also vanity.

Greek · Brenton

Εἶπον ἐγὼ ἐν καρδίᾳ μου, δεῦρο δὴ πειράσω σε ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ, καὶ ἴδε ἐν ἀγαθῷ· καὶ ἰδοὺ καί γε τοῦτο ματαιότης.
