|Eclesiastes 2:1| I thought to myself, 'Very well, I will try pleasure and see what enjoyment has to offer.' And this was futile too.
-
|Eclesiastes 2:2| This laughter, I reflected, is a madness, this pleasure no use at all.
-
|Eclesiastes 2:3| I decided to hand my body over to drinking wine, my mind still guiding me in wisdom; I resolved to embrace folly, to discover the best way for people to spend their days under the sun.
-
|Eclesiastes 2:4| I worked on a grand scale: built myself palaces, planted vineyards;
-
|Eclesiastes 2:5| made myself gardens and orchards, planting every kind of fruit tree in them;
-
|Eclesiastes 2:6| had pools made for watering the young trees of my plantations.
-
|Eclesiastes 2:7| I bought slaves, male and female, had home-born slaves as well; herds and flocks I had too, more than anyone in Jerusalem before me.
-
|Eclesiastes 2:8| I amassed silver and gold, the treasures of kings and provinces; acquired singers, men and women, and every human luxury, chest upon chest of it.
-
|Eclesiastes 2:9| So I grew great, greater than anyone in Jerusalem before me; nor did my wisdom leave me.
-
|Eclesiastes 2:10| I denied my eyes nothing that they desired, refused my heart no pleasure, for I found all my hard work a pleasure, such was the return for all my efforts.
