Ecclesiastes 2:9

9I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.

9Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me.

9Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me.

9So I became great and excelled more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.

9So I became great and surpassed all in Jerusalem who had preceded me; and my wisdom remained with me.

9I became far more important than anyone in Jerusalem had ever been before. And in spite of everything, I didn’t lose my wisdom.
