Ecclesiastes 2:4-11
4
I made myself great works. I built myself houses. I planted myself vineyards.
5
I made myself gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit.
6
I made myself pools of water, to water from it the forest where trees were reared.
7
I bought male servants and female servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem;
8
I also gathered silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men--musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
9
So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.
10
Whatever my eyes desired, I didn't keep from them. I didn't withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.
11
Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
