3 I (A)searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on (B)folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life. 4 I made great works. I (C)built houses and planted (D)vineyards for myself. 5 I made myself (E)gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees.
