Ecclesiastes 2:4-11

I made me great
<01431> (8689)
works
<04639>_;
I builded
<01129> (8804)
me houses
<01004>_;
I planted
<05193> (8804)
me vineyards
<03754>_:
I made
<06213> (8804)
me gardens
<01593>
and orchards
<06508>_,
and I planted
<05193> (8804)
trees
<06086>
in them of all [kind of] fruits
<06529>_:
I made
<06213> (8804)
me pools
<01295>
of water
<04325>_,
to water
<08248> (8687)
therewith the wood
<03293>
that bringeth forth
<06779> (8802)
trees
<06086>_:
I got
<07069> (8804)
[me] servants
<05650>
and maidens
<08198>_,
and had servants born
<01121>
in my house
<01004>_;
also I had great
<07235> (8687)
possessions
<04735>
of great
<01241>
and small cattle
<06629>
above all that were in Jerusalem
<03389>
before
<06440>
me: {servants born...: Heb. sons of my house}
I gathered
<03664> (8804)
me also silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_,
and the peculiar treasure
<05459>
of kings
<04428>
and of the provinces
<04082>_:
I gat
<06213> (8804)
me men singers
<07891> (8802)
and women singers
<07891> (8802)_,
and the delights
<08588>
of the sons
<01121>
of men
<0120>_,
[as] musical instruments
<07705> <07705>_,
and that of all sorts. {musical...: Heb. musical instrument and instruments}
So I was great
<01431> (8804)_,
and increased
<03254> (8689)
more than all that were before
<06440>
me in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
also my wisdom
<02451>
remained
<05975> (8804)
with me.
And whatsoever mine eyes
<05869>
desired
<07592> (8804)
I kept
<0680> (8804)
not from them, I withheld
<04513> (8804)
not my heart
<03820>
from any joy
<08057>_;
for my heart
<03820>
rejoiced
<08056>
in all my labour
<05999>_:
and this was my portion
<02506>
of all my labour
<05999>_.
Then I looked
<06437> (8804)
on all the works
<04639>
that my hands
<03027>
had wrought
<06213> (8804)_,
and on the labour
<05999>
that I had laboured
<05998> (8804)
to do
<06213> (8800)_:
and, behold, all [was] vanity
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_,
and [there was] no profit
<03504>
under the sun
<08121>_.
