Ecclesiastes 2:8-10
Legacy Standard Bible
8 Also, I collected for myself silver and (A)gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I provided for myself (B)male and female singers and the pleasures of the sons of men—many concubines.
9 Then I became (C)great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me. 10 (D)All that my eyes asked for I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any gladness, for my heart was glad because of all my labor, and this was my (E)reward for all my labor.

Ecclesiastes 2:8-10
New International Version
8 I amassed silver and gold(A) for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces.(B) I acquired male and female singers,(C) and a harem[a] as well—the delights of a man’s heart. 9 I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem(D) before me.(E) In all this my wisdom stayed with me.
10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my labor,
and this was the reward for all my toil.
