NASB
"I made ponds of water for myself from which to irrigate a forest of growing trees."
— Ecclesiastes 2:6, NASB
“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 made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:”
I explored with my mind how to stimulate my body with wine while my mind was guiding me wisely, and how to take hold of folly, until I could see what good there is for the sons of men to do under heaven the few years of their lives.
I enlarged my works: I built houses for myself, I planted vineyards for myself;
I made gardens and parks for myself and I planted in them all kinds of fruit trees;
I made ponds of water for myself from which to irrigate a forest of growing trees.
I bought male and female slaves and I had homeborn slaves. Also I possessed flocks and herds larger than all who preceded me in Jerusalem.
Also, I collected for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I provided for myself male and female singers and the pleasures of men--many concubines.
Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me.
