    and use the finest lotions,
    but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.

Ecclesiastes 2:1-3 NIV
2 I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. 2 “Laughter,” I said, “is madness.

I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.

Isaiah 47:8-9 NIV
8 “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure,
    lounging in your security
and saying to yourself,
    ‘I am, and there is none besides me.
I will never be a widow
    or suffer the loss of children.’
9 Both of these will overtake you
    in a moment, on a single day:
    loss of children and widowhood.
They will come upon you in full measure,
    in spite of your many sorceries
    and all your potent spells.
