Ecclesiastes 2:8-10
Expanded Bible
8 I also gathered silver and gold for myself, treasures ·from [or of] kings and ·other areas [provinces; 1 Kin. 10:14–25; 2 Chr. 9:27]. I had male and female singers and ·all the women a man could ever want [L many concubines—the pleasure of men]. 9 I ·became very famous, even greater than [surpassed] anyone who had lived in Jerusalem before me. My wisdom ·helped me in all this [L stayed with me].
10 Anything ·I saw and wanted [L my eyes requested], I ·got for [L did not refuse] myself;
I did not ·miss [L deny my heart] any pleasure I desired.
·I [L My heart] was pleased with everything I did,
and this pleasure was the reward for all my ·hard work [toil].
