^{4 Ref} I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:

^{5 Ref} I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:

^{6 Ref} I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:

^{7 Ref} 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 Ref} 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.

^{9 Ref} So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

^{10 Ref} And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
