Ecclesiastes 2:3-7

³I thought in mine heart to withdraw my flesh from wine, that I should lead over my soul to wisdom, and that I would eschew folly, till I should see, what were profitable to the sons of men; in which deed the number of days of their life under the sun is needful. (I thought in my heart to withdraw my flesh from wine, so that I could lead over my soul unto wisdom, and so that I would eschew foolishness, until I could see, what was profitable to the sons and daughters of men; yea, which deeds, or works, be useful, or meaningful, all the days of their lives under the sun.)

⁴I magnified, either made great, my works, I builded houses to me (or I built houses for myself), and I planted vines;

⁵I made yards and orchards, and I set those with trees of all kind(s);

⁶and I made cisterns of waters, for to water the wood of the trees growing. (and I made water cisterns, to water the trees growing in the woods, or in the groves.)

⁷I had in possession servants and handmaids; and I had much household, and droves of great beasts, and great flocks of sheep, over all men that were before me in Jerusalem. (I had in possession servants and servantesses or male and female slaves; and I had many slaves born in my house, and herds of great beasts, and great flocks of sheep, yea, more than all those who came before me in Jerusalem.)
