Ecclesiastes 7:23-29

23All this have I tried by wisdomH2451: I saidH559, I will be wiseH2449; but it was farH7350 from me. 24Whatever hath beenH1961, is farH7350 off, and exceeding deepH6013: who will findH4672 it out? 25I turnedH5437, I and my heartH3820, to knowH3045, and to searchH1245, and to seekH1245 out wisdomH2451 and reason, and to knowH3045 wickednessH7562 to be follyH5531, and foolishness to be madnessH1947; 26and I foundH4672 moreH4480 bitterH4751 than deathH4194 the womanH802 whose heartH3820 is netsH2764 and snares, [and] whose handsH3027 are bands: whoso pleaseth 1GodH430 shall escapeH4422 from her; but the sinnerH2398 shall be caughtH3920 by her. 27SeeH7200 this which I have foundH4672, saith the Preacher, [searching] oneH259 by oneH259 to findH4672 out the reason; 28which my soulH5315 yetH5750 seeketh, and I have not foundH4672: oneH259 manH120 among a thousandH505 have I foundH4672, but a womanH802 among all those have I not foundH4672. 29OnlyH905 seeH7200 this which I have foundH4672: that 2GodH430 madeH6213 manH120 uprightH3477, but they have soughtH1245 out manyH7227 devices.
