Ecclesiastes 2:4-11

4I made me greatH1431 worksH4639; I builded me housesH1004; I plantedH5193 me vineyardsH3754; 5I madeH6213 me gardensH1593 and parks, and I plantedH5193 treesH6086 in them of all kinds of fruitH6529; 6I madeH6213 me poolsH1295 of waterH4325, to waterH4325 therefrom the forestH3293 where treesH6086 were reared; 7I boughtH7069 men-servants and maid-servants, and had servantsH5650 born in my houseH1004; alsoH1571 I had great possessions of herdsH1241 and flocksH6629, above all that wereH1961 before me in JerusalemH3389; 8I gatheredH3664 me alsoH1571 silverH3701 and goldH2091, and the treasureH5459 of kingsH4428 and of the provincesH4082; I gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sonsH1121 of menH120, musical instruments, and that of all sorts. 9So I wasH1961 greatH1431, and increasedH3254 more than all that wereH1961 before me in JerusalemH3389: alsoH637 my wisdomH2451 remained with me. 10And whatsoever mine eyesH5869 desired I kept not from them; I withheldH4513 not my heartH3820 from any joyH8057; for my heartH3820 rejoicedH8055 because of all my laborH5999; and this wasH1961 my portionH2506 from all my laborH5999. 11Then I looked on all the worksH4639 that my handsH3027 had wrought, and on the laborH5999 that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanityH1892 and a striving after windH7307, and there was no profitH3504 under the sunH8121.
