Ecclesiastes 2:4-7 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

4. I increased my achievements. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself.

5. I made gardens and parks for myself and planted every kind of fruit tree in them.

6. I constructed reservoirs of water for myself from which to irrigate a grove of flourishing trees.

7. I acquired male and female servants and had slaves who were born in my house. I also owned many herds of cattle and flocks, more than all who were before me in Jerusalem.
