King James Version with Apocrypha
"I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:"
— Ecclesiastes 2:6, King James Version with Apocrypha
“I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:”
“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 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.
