King James
¿µ¾î¼º°æ
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.
Louis Second

Martin Luther
µ¶¾î¼º°æ
Da dachte ich in meinem Herzen, meinen Leib vom Wein zu ziehen und mein Herz zur Weisheit zu ziehen, daß ich ergriffe, was Torheit ist, bis ich lernete, was den Menschen gut wäre, das sie tun sollten, solange sie unter dem Himmel leben.
