Ecclesiastes 7:25-29

25I tried to understand, examine, and comprehend the role of wisdom in the scheme of things, and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the insanity of folly.

26I discovered this: More bitter than death is the kind of woman who is like a hunter’s snare; her heart is like a hunter’s net and her hands are like prison chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is captured by her.

27The Teacher says: I discovered this while trying to discover the scheme of things, item by item.

28What I have continually sought, I have not found; I have found only one upright man among a thousand, but I have not found one upright woman among all of them.

29This alone have I discovered: God made humankind upright, but they have sought many evil schemes.
