Ecclesiastes 2:6

6 I made myself pools from which to water the trees springing up in the forest.

Ecclesiastes 2:6 In-Context

4 I worked on a grand scale - I built myself palaces, planted myself vineyards,
5 and made myself gardens and parks; in them I planted all kinds of fruit trees.
6 I made myself pools from which to water the trees springing up in the forest.
7 I bought male and female slaves, and I had my home-born slaves as well. I also had growing herds of cattle and flocks of sheep, more than anyone before me in Yerushalayim.
8 I amassed silver and gold, the wealth of kings and provinces. I acquired male and female singers, things that provide sensual delight, and a good many concubines.
