Ecclesiastes 2:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 I explored with my mind how to let my body enjoy life[a] with wine(A) and how to grasp folly(B)—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven[b] during the few days of their lives.(C)
The Emptiness of Possessions
4 I increased my achievements. I built houses(D) and planted vineyards(E) for myself. 5 I made gardens(F) and parks for myself and planted every kind of fruit tree in them.
