Ecclesiastes 2:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ I bought male and female slaves, and had slaves who were born in my house; I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem. ⁸ I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got singers, both men and women, and delights of the flesh, and many concubines.^[a]

⁹ So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom remained with me.
