Ecclesiastes 2:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 2
5 je me fis des jardins et des vergers, et j’y plantai des arbres à fruit de toute espèce;
6 je me créai des étangs, pour arroser la forêt où croissaient les arbres.
7 J’achetai des serviteurs et des servantes, et j’eus leurs enfants nés dans la maison; je possédai des troupeaux de bœufs et de brebis, plus que tous ceux qui étaient avant moi dans Jérusalem.
8 Je m’amassai de l’argent et de l’or, et les richesses des rois et des provinces. Je me procurai des chanteurs et des chanteuses, et les délices des fils de l’homme, des femmes en grand nombre.
9 Je devins grand, plus grand que tous ceux qui étaient avant moi dans Jérusalem. Et même ma sagesse demeura avec moi.
