In context
3And I examined whether my heart Would excite my flesh as with wine (Though my heart guided me in wisdom), And I desired to lay hold of mirth, Until I should see of what kind is the good to the sons of men, Which they should do under the sun All the days of their life.
4I enlarged my work; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards.
— Ecclesiastes 2:5 —
6I made me pools of water, To water from them the timber-bearing wood.
7I got servants and maidens, And servants were born to me in the house: Also I had abundant possession of flocks and herds, Beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem.
