我心里想：“来吧，不如尽情享乐，好好享受！”唉！结果这也是虚空。我说：“欢笑只不过是一阵狂妄，享乐又有什么用！”于是，我决意用酒使自己快乐，在体验愚昧的同时仍然保持理智，直到我明白在短暂的人生岁月中做何事才有益。我大动工程，为自己建造房屋，栽种葡萄园，开垦花圃园囿，种植各种果树，开凿池塘，浇灌茂林。我买了仆婢，又有生在家中的仆婢，拥有的牛羊远超过有史以来耶路撒冷的任何人。我为自己积聚金银，搜罗列王和各省的奇珍异宝，得到男女歌优及许多妃嫔——都是世人所想望的。这样，我便财势日增，享誉盛名，超过耶路撒冷历来所有的人。然而，我仍然保持智慧。凡我眼睛爱看的、心里渴慕的，我都随心所欲，尽情享受。我的心从劳碌中得到欢乐，这是我劳碌所得的回报。然而，当我回顾双手辛勤经营的一切成就时，唉，却发现都是虚空，都是捕风；日光之下的一切都毫无益处。于是，我转念思考什么是智慧、狂妄和愚昧。其实以后接替君王的人除了重演历史之外，还能做什么呢？

所罗门统管列国，从幼发拉底河至非利士，直到埃及边界。所罗门在世的日子，列国都年年进贡称臣。王室每天用三千公斤细面粉、六千公斤粗面粉、十头肥牛、二十头草场的牛、一百只羊，此外还有鹿、羚羊、狍子及肥禽。所罗门统治幼发拉底河西面所有的国家，从提弗萨直到迦萨，四境安宁。
