Ecclesiastes 2:5-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
5
I made gardens and parks for myself, and I planted in them all kinds of fruit trees;
6
I made ponds of water for myself from which to irrigate a forest of growing trees.
7
I bought male and female slaves, and I had slaves
born
at home. I also possessed flocks and herds larger than all who preceded me in Jerusalem.
8
I also amassed for myself silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I provided for myself male and female singers, and the pleasures of the sons of mankind: many concubines.
King James Version
Chapter 2
5
I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
6
I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:
7
I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
8
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
Christian Standard Bible
