¹ I said in my heart, Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore consider and behold goodness; this also is vanity. ² I said of laughter, It is madness; and of mirth, What does it do? ³ I sought in my heart to drag my flesh with wine, yet leading my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, until I might see where the good for the sons of men might be, what they should do under the heavens all the days of their life. ⁴ I made my works great; I built houses for myself; I planted vineyards for myself. ⁵ I made gardens and orchards for myself, And I planted trees in them, of all fruit. ⁶ I made pools of water for myself, to water the forest shooting forth trees. ⁷ I bought slaves and slave women, and sons of the house were mine; also livestock, a herd and a great flock were mine, above all that were before me in Jerusalem. ⁸ I also gathered silver and gold to myself, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got men singers and women singers for myself, and the delights of the sons of men, a wife and very many wives. ⁹ I was great and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom remained with me. 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 in all my labor, and this was my part of all my labor. ¹¹ Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit; and there is no profit under the sun.
