Eccles. 2.3, to 11. Verse 3. I sought in mine heart to give my self unto wine, (yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom) and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the Heaven all the days of their life. 4. I made me great works, I builded me houses, I planted me vineyards. 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 ⟨p. 36⟩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. 9. So was I great, and increased more then all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. 10. And whatsoever mine eyes desired, I kept not from them, I withheld not mine heart from any joy: for my heart rejoiced in all my labour; and this was my portion of all my labour. 11. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
