Ecclesiastes 2:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ I built for myself water reservoirs to irrigate forests that produce trees.

A Testimony to Extravagant Possessions

⁷ I acquired male and female slaves, and had other slaves born in my house. I also acquired for myself increasing numbers of herds and flocks—more than anyone who had lived before me in Jerusalem. ⁸ I also accumulated silver, gold, and the wealth of kings and their kingdoms. I gathered around me both male and female singers, along with what delights a man—all sorts of mistresses.
