Ecclesiastes 2:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 2

4 Engrandecí mis obras, edifiquéme casas, plantéme viñas;

5 Híceme huertos y jardines, y planté en ellos árboles de todos frutos;

6 Híceme estanques de aguas, para regar de ellos el bosque donde los árboles crecían.

7 Poseí siervos y siervas, y tuve hijos de familia; también tuve posesión grande de vacas y ovejas, sobre todos los que fueron antes de mí en Jerusalem;

8 Alleguéme también plata y oro, y tesoro preciado de reyes y de provincias; híceme de cantores y cantoras, y los deleites de los hijos de los hombres, instrumentos músicos y de todas suertes.
