Ecc 2:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : 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. . The Preacher tried to find happiness by drinking wine and acting foolishly, but he still used his wisdom to think about what he was doing. He wanted to know if these things could give people a good life. But even as he experimented with pleasure, he realized that these things did not give life true meaning.
