Pleasure

“Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he conceals it under his tongue,”

“singing to the tambourine and lyre and making merry at the sound of the flute.”

“They spend their days in prosperity and go down to Sheol in peace.”

““Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is tasty!””

“Folly is joy to one who lacks judgment, but a man of understanding walks a straight path.”

“He who loves pleasure will become poor; the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.”

“So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind.”

“I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good!” But it proved to be futile.”
