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。

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。

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.

酒能使人狂放，烈酒能使人喧嘩；所有因醉酒而犯錯的，都沒有智慧。

我又專心究察智慧和知識，狂妄和愚昧，才知道這也是捕風。

你們一切都聽見了，總而言之，應當敬畏神，謹守他的誡命，因為這是每一個人的本分。

利慕伊勒啊！君王不可喝酒；君王千萬不可喝酒；掌權的不可貪飲烈酒。恐怕喝了酒，就忘記律例，把困苦人的一切案件都顛倒了。

不要醉酒，醉酒能使人放蕩亂性，卻要讓聖靈充滿。

在虛空、消逝如影的人生，短暫的日子裡，有誰知道甚麼是對人有益處呢？誰能告訴人他死後在日光之下會發生甚麼事呢？

人最好是吃喝，在自己的勞碌中自得其樂；我看這也是出於神的手。

我們一生的日子都在你的震怒中消逝，我們度盡的年歲好像一聲歎息。我們一生的年日是七十歲，如果強壯，可到八十歲，但其中可誇耀的，不過是勞苦愁煩；我們的年日轉眼即逝，我們也如飛而去了。誰曉得你怒氣的威力，誰按著你該受的敬畏曉得你的忿怒呢？求你教導我們怎樣數算自己的日子，好使我們得著智慧的心。

誰有禍患？誰有愁苦？誰有紛爭？誰有怨言？誰無故受傷？誰的眼睛赤紅？就是那些沉湎於酒，常去品嘗調和了的酒的人。你不要看酒怎樣發紅，在杯中怎樣閃爍誘人，喝下去怎樣舒暢，最後它卻像咬你的蛇、像刺你的毒蛇。你的眼睛必看見怪異的事，你的心必說乖謬的話。你必好像躺在海中，又好像躺在桅杆頂上。你必說：“人打我，我不痛；人鞭打我，我不曉得；我甚麼時候清醒？我還要再去尋酒。”

亞比該到了拿八那裡，他正在家中擺設筵席，好像帝王的筵席一樣。拿八心裡暢快，喝得爛醉如泥，所以無論大事小事亞比該都沒有告訴他，直到第二天早晨。

人若死了，怎能再活呢？我要在我一切勞苦的日子等待，等到我得釋放的時候來到。

持守這個是好的，那個也不要放鬆，因為敬畏神的人，都必避免這兩個極端。

雅各回答法老：“我寄居在世的年日是一百三十歲。我一生的年日又少又苦，不及我祖先寄居在世的年日。”

我曉得人生最好是尋樂享福，人人有吃有喝，在自己的一切勞碌中自得其樂；這就是神的恩賜。

我轉念，一心去了解、考察並尋覓智慧和事理，又要知道愚蒙是邪惡的，狂妄是愚昧的。

“一個人不能服事兩個主人；他若不是恨這個愛那個，就是忠於這個輕視那個。你們不能服事神，又服事金錢﹙“金錢”亞蘭文是“瑪門”。﹚。

基督和彼列（“彼列”是撒但的別名）怎能和諧呢？信的和不信的有甚麼聯繫呢？神的殿和偶像怎能協調呢？我們就是永生神的殿，正如神說：“我要住在他們中間，在他們中間來往；我要作他們的神，他們要作我的子民。”所以，“主說：你們要從他們中間出來，和他們分開，不可觸摸不潔淨的東西，我就收納你們。”
