Ecclesiastes 2:3-5

Tree of Life Version

³ I thought deeply about how to cheer my flesh with wine—letting my heart guide me with wisdom—and how to grasp folly, so that I could see what was worthwhile for the sons of men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

⁴ I increased my possessions. I built myself houses and I planted myself vineyards. ⁵ I made royal gardens and parks for myself, and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.
