Ecclesiastes 7:25-29

25IH589 directedH5437 my mindH3820 to understandH3045, to exploreH8446, to search outH1245 wisdomH2451 and explanationsH2808, and to understandH3045 the stupidityH3689 of wickednessH7562 and the follyH5531 of madnessH1947. 26And IH589 findH4672 more bitterH4751 than deathH4194 the womanH802 whoH834H1931 is a snareH4685, whose heartH3820 is a netH2764, and whose handsH3027 are chainsH612. The man who pleasesH2896H6440 GodH430 escapesH4422 herH4480, but the sinnerH2398 is ensnaredH3920.

27“BeholdH7200,” saysH559 the TeacherH6953, “I have discoveredH4672 thisH2088 by adding oneH259 thing to anotherH259 to findH4672 an explanationH2808. 28WhileH834 my soulH5315 was stillH5750 searchingH1245 but notH3808 findingH4672, among a thousandH505 I have foundH4672 oneH259 upright manH120, but among allH3605 theseH428 I have notH3808 foundH4672 one such womanH802. 29OnlyH905 thisH2088 have I foundH7200: I have discoveredH4672 thatH834 GodH430 madeH6213 mankindH120 uprightH3477, but theyH1992 have sought outH1245 manyH7227 schemesH2810.”
