Ecclesiastes 2:4-10

4I expandedH1431 my pursuitsH4639. I builtH1129 housesH1004 and plantedH5193 vineyardsH3754 for myself. 5I madeH6213 gardensH1593 and parksH6508 for myself, where I plantedH5193 all kindsH3605 of fruitH6529 treesH6086. 6I builtH6213 reservoirsH1295H4325 to waterH8248 my grovesH3293 of flourishingH6779 treesH6086.

7I acquiredH7069 menservantsH5650 and maidservantsH8198, and servants were bornH1121 in my houseH1004. I alsoH1571 ownedH1961 moreH7235 herdsH1241H4735 and flocksH6629 than anyoneH3605H1961 in JerusalemH3389 before meH6440, 8and IH1571 accumulatedH3664 for myself silverH3701 and goldH2091 and the treasureH5459 of kingsH4428 and provincesH4082. I gatheredH6213 to myself male andH7891 female singersH7891, and the delightsH8588 of the sonsH1121 of menH120—manyH7705 concubinesH7705.

9So I became greatH1431 and surpassedH3254 allH3605 in JerusalemH3389 who had preceded meH1961H6440; andH637 my wisdomH2451 remainedH5975 with me. 10AnythingH3605 my eyesH5869 desiredH7592, I did notH3808 deny myselfH680. I refusedH4513 my heartH3820 noH3808H3605 pleasureH8057. ForH3588 my heartH3820 took delightH8056 in allH3605 my workH5999, and thisH2088 wasH1961 the rewardH2506 for allH3605 my laborH5999.
