Ecclesiastes 2:9-11 So I became great, and advanced beyond all that were before in Jerusalem: also my wisdom was established to me.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ So I became great, and advanced beyond all that were before in Jerusalem: also my wisdom was established to me. ¹⁰ And whatever mine eyes desired, I withheld not from them, I withheld not my heart from all my mirth: for my heart rejoiced in all my labour; and this was my portion of all my labour. ¹¹ And I looked on all my works which my hands had wrought, and on my labour which I laboured to perform: and behold, all was vanity and waywardness of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun.
