Capítulo 2

₃ |Eclesiastes 2:3| I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly — my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was worth while for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

₄ |Eclesiastes 2:4| I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards.

₅ |Eclesiastes 2:5| I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.

₆ |Eclesiastes 2:6| I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees.

₇ |Eclesiastes 2:7| I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me.

₈ |Eclesiastes 2:8| I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired men and women singers, and a harem [The meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain.] as well — the delights of the heart of man.

₉ |Eclesiastes 2:9| I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.

₁₀ |Eclesiastes 2:10| I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labour.

₁₁ |Eclesiastes 2:11| Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.

₁₂ |Eclesiastes 2:12| Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly. What more can the king’s successor do than what has already been done?
