Ecclesiastes 2:9 in Context — Ecclesiastes 2
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.
10 E tudo quanto meus olhos desejaram, eu não lhes neguei; nem privei meu coração de alegria alguma, pois meu coração se alegrou de todo o meu trabalho; e esta foi minha parte [que obtive] de todo o meu trabalho.
11 E eu olhei para todas as obras que minhas mãos fizeram, como também para o trabalho ao qual me dispus a trabalhar; e eis que tudo era fútil [como] perseguir o vento, e que não havia proveito algum abaixo do sol.
