"I made myself pools of water, to water from it the forest where trees were reared."
— Ecclesiastes 2:6, World English Bible
“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 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 searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold of folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their lives.
I made myself great works. I built myself houses. I planted myself vineyards.
I made myself gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit.
I made myself pools of water, to water from it the forest where trees were reared.
I bought male servants and female servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem;
I also gathered silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men--musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.
