5 I made gardens and orchards. And I planted them with trees of every kind.
6 And I dug out fishponds of water, so that I might irrigate the forest of growing trees.
7 I obtained men and women servants, and I had a great family, as well as herds of cattle and great flocks of sheep, beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem.
8 I amassed for myself silver and gold, and the wealth of kings and governors. I chose men and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, bowls and pitchers for the purpose of pouring wine.
9 And I surpassed in opulence all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also persevered with me.
