King James Version
"I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:"
— Ecclesiastes 2:6, King James Version
“I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared; ”
“I made myself pools of water, to water from it the forest where trees were reared.”
“I constructed pools of water for myself, to irrigate my grove of flourishing trees.”
“And I made me ponds of water, to water therewith the wood of the young trees,”
“I made pools to give water for the woods with their young trees.”
“I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:”
I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:
I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
