Ecclesiastes 7:25-29

25I turnedH5437 about, and my heartH3820 was set to knowH3045 and to searchH1245 out, and to seekH1245 wisdomH2451 and the reason of things, and to knowH3045 that wickednessH7562 is follyH5531, and that foolishness is madnessH1947. 26And I findH4672 moreH4480 bitterH4751 than deathH4194 the womanH802 whose heartH3820 is snares and netsH2764, and whose handsH3027 are bands: whoso pleaseth GodH430 shall escapeH4422 from her; but the sinnerH2398 shall be takenH3920 by her. 27Behold, this have I foundH4672, saith the Preacher, laying oneH259 thing to another, to findH4672 out the account; 28which my soulH5315 stillH5750 seeketh, but I have not foundH4672: oneH259 manH120 among a thousandH505 have I foundH4672; but a womanH802 among all those have I not foundH4672. 29Behold, this onlyH905 have I foundH4672: that GodH430 madeH6213 manH120 uprightH3477; but they have soughtH1245 out manyH7227 inventions.
