Pleasures Are Meaningless
 1 I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless.  2 “Laughter,” I said, “is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?”  3 I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.
 4 I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards.  5 I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.  6 I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees.  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 I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired male and female singers, and a harem [b]   as well—the delights of a man’s heart.  9 I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.
 10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
    I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my labor,
    and this was the reward for all my toil.
 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.
