Ecclesiastes 2:4-9

4I accomplished some great things: I built houses for myself. I planted vineyards for myself.

5I made gardens and parks for myself. I planted every kind of fruit tree in them.

6I made pools to water the forest of growing trees.

7I bought male and female slaves. In addition, slaves were born in my household. I owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me.

8I also gathered silver and gold for myself. I gathered the treasures of kings and provinces. I provided myself with male and female singers and the pleasures men have with one concubine  after another.

9So I grew richer than anyone in Jerusalem before me. Yet, my wisdom remained with me.
