Ecclesiastes 2:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 I bought male and female slaves and had slaves who were born in my house; I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem. 8 I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got singers, both men and women, and delights of the flesh, many concubines.[a](A)
9 So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom remained with me.(B)
