ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૨:૪
પછી મેં મારે પોતાને માટે મોટાં કામ ઉપાડયાં. મેં પોતાને માટે મહેલો બંઘાવ્યા મેં પોતાને માટે દ્રાક્ષવાડીઓ રોપાવી.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक २:४
मैंने बड़े-बड़े काम किए; मैंने अपने लिये घर बनवा लिए और अपने लिये दाख की बारियाँ लगवाईं;

In context

2I said of laughter, “It is foolishness;” and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?”

3I 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.

4I made myself great works. I built myself houses. I planted myself vineyards.

5I made myself gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit.

6I made myself pools of water, to water the forest where trees were grown.
