Ecclesiastes 2:1

אָמַ֤רְתִּי אֲנִי֙ בְּלִבִּ֔י לְכָה נָּ֛א אֲנַסְּכָ֥ה בְשִׂמְחָ֖ה וּרְאֵ֣ה בְטוֹב֑ וְהִנֵּ֥ה גַם הוּא הָֽבֶל׃
King James Version (KJV)

I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

Modern English

I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself." But behold, this also was vanity.

Hebrew

אָמַ֤רְתִּי אֲנִי֙ בְּלִבִּ֔י לְכָה נָּ֛א אֲנַסְּכָ֥ה בְשִׂמְחָ֖ה וּרְאֵ֣ה בְטוֹב֑ וְהִנֵּ֥ה גַם הוּא הָֽבֶל׃
