OET (OET-LV) I_searched in/on/at/with_mind_of_my to_cheer in/on/at/with_wine DOM body_of_my and_mind_of_my was_guiding in/on/at/with_wisdom and_to_lay_hold in/on/at/with_folly until that I_saw where this is_good for_sons_of the_humankind which they_will_do under the_heavens the_number_of the_days_of lives_of_their.

OET (OET-RV) I explored in myself how to indulge my body with wine, but my mind was guiding me in wisdom.
 ⇔ Also, how to grasp foolishness
 ⇔ until I could see whether that’s better for humanity to do while they live out their lives here on this earth.

Here the author speaks of using the wisdom that he had been taught to guide himself as if this wisdom were a person who guided him. Alternate translation: “I thought about the things that wise people had taught me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) under heaven

(Some words not found in UHB: explored in/on/at/with,mind_of,my to,cheer in/on/at/with,wine DOM body_of,my and,mind_of,my guiding in/on/at/with,wisdom and,to,lay_hold in/on/at/with,folly until which/who see where? this good for,sons_of the=humankind which/who do below/instead_of the=heavens few_of days_of lives_of,their )

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:3 The Teacher understood that trying to cheer himself with wine was foolishness, but he did it while still seeking wisdom—i.e., during his attempt to understand how to experience . . . happiness. This proved to be empty (2:11).
• brief life in this world: The totality of human experience is “a breath.”

OET (OET-LV) I_searched in/on/at/with_mind_of_my to_cheer in/on/at/with_wine DOM body_of_my and_mind_of_my was_guiding in/on/at/with_wisdom and_to_lay_hold in/on/at/with_folly until that I_saw where this is_good for_sons_of the_humankind which they_will_do under the_heavens the_number_of the_days_of lives_of_their.

OET (OET-RV) I explored in myself how to indulge my body with wine, but my mind was guiding me in wisdom.
 ⇔ Also, how to grasp foolishness
 ⇔ until I could see whether that’s better for humanity to do while they live out their lives here on this earth.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
