Ecclesiastes 2:8
| ← Ecclesiastes 2:7 | Ecclesiastes 2:8 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 2:9 → |
|---|---|---|
I got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
|
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, [as] musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
|
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
