ACV(i)
4 I made for me great works. I built for me houses. I planted for me vineyards.
5 I made for me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit.
6 I made for me pools of water, to water from there the forest where trees were reared.
7 I bought men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem.
8 I also gathered for me silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got for me men-singers and women-singers, and the luxuries of the sons of men, and a wife and wives.
9 So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.
10 And whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them. I did not withhold my heart from any joy. For my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.
11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do, and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
