Ecclesiastes 2:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ I got me menservants, and maidservants, and had a great family: and herds of oxen, and great flocks of sheep, above all that were before me in Jerusalem:

⁸ I heaped together for myself silver and gold, and the wealth of kings, and provinces: I made me singing men, and singing women, and the delights of the sons of men, cups and vessels to serve to pour out wine:

⁹ And I surpassed in riches all that were before me in Jerusalem: my wisdom also remained with me.
