Ecclesiastes 2:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ I made reservoirs of water for myself to irrigate a forest of sprouting trees. ⁷ I acquired male and female servants. I also had slaves that were born in my own house. Livestock too! I had more herds and flocks than anyone before me in Jerusalem. ⁸ I piled up silver and gold for myself, as well as treasures from kings and provinces. I acquired male singers and female singers for myself, and what gives great pleasure to men—one concubine after another.^[a]
