4 I made great my works; I built for myself houses, and I planted for myself vineyards; 5 I made for myself gardens and parks, and I planted in them a tree of every fruit. 6 I made for myself pools of water, to cause to drink from them a grove of sprouting trees. 7 I acquired menservants and maidservants, and sons of the house were unto me; also there were unto me great possessions of cattle and sheep, more than all who were before my face in Jerusalem; 8 I gathered for myself also silver and gold, and the property of kings and of the provinces; I appointed for myself male singers and female singers, and the delights of the sons of man—a wife and wives.
