Ecclesiastes 2:4-9

4I made my works great, I built myself houses, and planted myself vineyards.

5I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.

6I made myself water pools from which to water the growing trees of the grove.

7I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

8I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds.

9So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.
