MATERIAL POSSESSIONS SATISFACTION

"I made great works;

I built 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 the forest 

of growing 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;

I gathered me also silver and gold,

and the treasure of kings and of the provinces;

I got me men singers and women singers,

and the delights of the sons of men,

as musical instruments, and that of all sorts......

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done,

and on the labour that I had laboured to do:

and, behold,

all was vanity and vexation of spirit,

and there was no profit under the sun."

(Ecclesiastes 2:4-8,11 AJKV)
