Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
I sought to cheer my body with wine and to embrace folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—until I could see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.
World English Bible (WEB)
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.

I sought{H8446}{(H8804)} in mine heart{H3820} to give{H4900}{(H8800)} myself{H1320} unto wine{H3196}, yet acquainting{H5090}{(H8802)} mine heart{H3820} with wisdom{H2451}; and to lay hold{H270}{(H8800)} on folly{H5531}, till I might see{H7200}{(H8799)} what was that good{H2896} for the sons{H1121} of men{H120}, which they should do{H6213}{(H8799)} under the heaven{H8064} all{H4557} the days{H3117} of their life{H2416}.

Young's Literal Translation
I have sought in my heart to draw out with wine my appetite, (and my heart leading in wisdom), and to take hold on folly till that I see where is this—the good to the sons of man of that which they do under the heavens, the number of the days of their lives.
