Ecclesiastes:2:8-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I gathered me also silver and gold ,
and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces :
I gat me men singers and women singers ,
and the delights of the sons of men ,
as musical instruments shiddah #,
and that of all sorts .
*
So I was great ,
and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem :
also my wisdom remained with me .
*
And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them ,
I withheld not my heart from any joy ;
for my heart rejoiced in all my labour :
and this was my portion of all my labour .
*
Then I looked on all t works that my hands had wrought ,
and on the labour that I had laboured to do :
and ,
behold ,
all was vanity and vexation of spirit ,
and there was no profit under the sun .
