Ecclesiastes 7:26-29

I find more bitter than death

the woman who is a snare,

whose heart is a trap

and whose hands are chains.

The man who pleases God will escape her,

but the sinner she will ensnare.

“Look,” says the Teacher,7:27 Or the leader of the assembly “this is what I have discovered:

“Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—

while I was still searching

but not finding—

I found one upright man among a thousand,

but not one upright woman among them all.

This only have I found:

God created mankind upright,

but they have gone in search of many schemes.”
