于是，我决意用酒使自己快乐，在体验愚昧的同时仍然保持理智，直到我明白在短暂的人生岁月中做何事才有益。

我心里察究，如何用酒使我肉体舒畅，我心却仍以智慧引导我；又如何持住愚昧，等我看明世人，在天下一生当行何事为美。

我心以智慧引导我，我心里探究，如何用酒使身体舒畅，如何抓住愚昧，直等我看明世人在天下短暂一生中，当行何事为美。

於是，我決意用酒使自己快樂，在體驗愚昧的同時仍然保持理智，直到我明白在短暫的人生歲月中做何事才有益。

我心裡籌思，怎樣用酒使我的身體暢快，又保持愚昧，但我的內心仍由智慧引導；直到我看明世人，在諸天之下一生有限的年日中所行的，對他們有益的是甚麼。

我的心以智慧引領我的同時，我心裡探察如何用酒使我的肉體暢快並保持愚昧狀，直到我看清世人一生可數的日子裡，在天下做什麼才有益處。

我心思維、酌酒以快我身、而心仍為智慧所導、又思持守愚拙、知天下人畢生所行、孰為美善、

我姑以酒為懽、若無智然、而仍不敢失度、庶知人生在世、最樂者何事。

我又自思、我且飲酒以樂我身、心仍導以智慧、又執守愚拙、直至我得見人生在世、人生在世原文作人在天下終身行何事為美、

I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly— my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.

I tried cheering myself up by drinking wine. I even tried living in a foolish way. But wisdom was still guiding my mind. I wanted to see what was good for people to do on earth during their short lives.

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.

After much thought, I decided to cheer myself with wine. And while still seeking wisdom, I clutched at foolishness. In this way, I tried to experience the only happiness most people find during their brief life in this world.

I explored with my mind the pull of wine on my body— my mind still guiding me with wisdom— and how to grasp folly, until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

I explored with my mind how to refresh my body with wine while my mind was guiding me wisely; and how to seize foolishness, until I could see what good there is for the sons of mankind to do under heaven for the few years of their lives.

I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.

I explored with my mind how to let my body enjoy life with wine and how to grasp folly— my mind still guiding me with wisdom— until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what[ was] that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

I thought deeply about the effects of indulging myself with wine( all the while my mind was guiding me with wisdom) and the effects of behaving foolishly, so that I might discover what is profitable for people to do on earth during the few days of their lives.

I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold of folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their lives.

酒使人放肆，烈酒叫人吵闹。因酒误事，实为不智。

我又专心察明智慧和知识、狂妄和愚昧，却发现这也是捕风。

以上所说的，总而言之，就是要敬畏上帝，遵守祂的诫命，这是人的本分。

利慕伊勒啊，君王不可喝酒，不可喝酒，首领不宜喝烈酒，免得喝酒后忘记律例，不为困苦人伸张正义。

不要醉酒，醉酒会使人放荡，要被圣灵充满。

人生短暂虚空，如影飞逝，有谁知道什么对人有益？谁能告诉人死后日光之下会发生什么事？

对人而言，没有什么比吃喝并享受劳碌之乐更好，我看这也是出自上帝的手。

我们活在你的烈怒之下，一生就像一声叹息飞逝而去。我们一生七十岁，强壮的可活八十岁，但人生最美好的时光也充满劳苦和愁烦，生命转瞬即逝，我们便如飞而去。谁明白你愤怒的威力？有谁因为明白你的烈怒而对你心存敬畏呢？求你教导我们明白人生有限，使我们做有智慧的人。

谁有灾祸？谁有忧伤？谁有争吵？谁有怨言？谁无故受伤？谁两眼发红？就是那些沉迷醉乡，品尝醇和之酒的人！虽然鲜红的酒在杯中闪烁，喝下去痛快，但不要盯着它。它终必像蛇一样伤你，像毒蛇一样咬你。你的眼会看见怪异的景象，你会神智不清，胡言乱语。你好像躺在怒海中，又像卧在桅杆顶上。你会说：“人打我，我不痛；人揍我，我不知。什么时候醒了，再干一杯！”

她回到家时，拿八正在大摆宴席，排场如御宴。她见拿八心情愉快，喝得酩酊大醉，就什么也没告诉他，等第二天早上再说。

人若死了，还能复生吗？我要在劳苦的岁月中等待，直到我得释放的日子来临。

最好是持守这个教训也不放松那个教训，因为敬畏上帝的人必避免两个极端。

雅各回答说：“我在世上寄居一百三十年了，我的日子又苦又短，不像我祖先那样高寿。”

我认识到，人生在世没有什么比欢乐、享受更好。人人都该吃喝、享受自己劳苦的成果，这是上帝的恩赐。

我用心去认识、探究、追寻智慧和事物的原委，并去认识邪恶带来的愚昧和无知带来的狂妄。

“一个人不能服侍两位主人，因为他不是恨这位、爱那位，就是重这位、轻那位。你们不能又事奉上帝，又崇拜金钱。

基督与魔鬼怎能相容呢？信徒与非信徒有什么相干呢？上帝的殿与偶像怎能相提并论呢？因为我们就是永活上帝的殿，正如上帝说：“我要住在他们中间，在他们当中往来；我要做他们的上帝，他们要做我的子民。”又说：“所以，你们要从他们中间出来，离开他们，不要沾染污秽之物，我就接纳你们。
