Ecclesiastes 2:4-10

Ecclesiastes 2:4-10

[4] I made me great  works;  I builded  me houses;  I planted  me vineyards:  [5] I made  me gardens  and orchards,  and I planted  trees  in them of all kind of fruits:  [6] I made  me pools  of water,  to water  therewith the wood  that bringeth forth  trees:  [7] I got  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: [8] I gathered  me also silver  and gold,  and the peculiar treasure  of kings  and of the provinces:  I gat  me men singers  and the delights  of the sons  of men,  as musical instruments,  and that of all sorts. [9] So I was great,  and increased  more than all that were before  me in Jerusalem:  also my wisdom  remained  with me. [10] And whatsoever mine eyes  desired  I kept  not from them, I withheld  not my heart  from any joy;  for my heart  in all my labour:  and this was my portion  of all my labour.
