Ecclesiastes 2:4-9

⁴I made me great works; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards:

⁵I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:

⁶I made me pools of water, to water with them the wood that bringeth forth trees:

⁷I procured me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

⁸I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings, and of the provinces: I procured me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and of all sorts.

⁹So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
