In context

2I said of laughter, “It is folly,” and of pleasure, “What does it accomplish?”

3I sought to cheer my body with wine and to embrace folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—until I could see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

4I expanded my pursuits. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself.

5I made gardens and parks for myself, where I planted all kinds of fruit trees.

6I built reservoirs to water my groves of flourishing trees.
