5 Fiz para mim pomares e jardins; e plantei neles árvores de toda [espécie de] frutos.
6 Fiz para mim tanques de águas, para regar com eles o bosque em que se plantavam as árvores.
7 Adquiri escravos e escravas, e tive [escravos] nascidos em casa; também tive grande rebanho de vacas e ovelhas, mais do que todos os que houve antes de mim em Jerusalém.
8 Também juntei para mim prata, ouro, e tesouros de reis e de províncias; reservei para mim cantores e cantoras, e dos prazeres dos filhos dos homens: várias mulheres.
9 Então me engrandeci e aumentei, mais do que todos quantos houve antes de mim em Jerusalém; além disto minha sabedoria ficou comigo.
