Ecclesiastes 2:3-7

³And I examined whether my heart would excite my flesh as with wine, (though my heart guided me in wisdom,) and I desired to lay hold of mirth, until I should see of what kind is the good to the sons of men, which they should do under the sun all the days of their life.

⁴I enlarged my work; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards.

⁵I made me gardens and orchards, and planted in them every kind of fruit tree.

⁶I made me pools of water, to water from them the timber-bearing wood.

⁷I got servants and maidens, and servants were born to me in the house: also I had abundant possession of flocks and herds, beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem.
