Ecclesiastes:2:1-11
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @ I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, look, this also was vanity.
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:2 @ I said of laughter, It is insane; and of mirth, What does it do?
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding [me] with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of man that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:4 @ I made myself great works; I built myself houses; I planted myself vineyards;
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @ I made myself gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @ I made myself pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared;
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @ I bought male slaves and female slaves, and had slaves born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem;
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I gathered myself also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got myself men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of man, many women.
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them; I did not withhold my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor.
updv@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, look, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
