Ecclesiastes 7:22-29

²²For many times he shall trespass against thee, And repeatedly shall he afflict thy heart; For thus also hast thou cursed others.

²³All these things have I proved in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

²⁴That which is far beyond what was, And a great depth, who shall find it out?

²⁵I and my heart went round about to know, And to examine, and to seek wisdom, and the account of things, And to know the folly and trouble And madness of the ungodly man.

²⁶And I find her to be, and I will pronounce to be More bitter than death the woman which is a snare, And her heart nets, Who has a band in her hands: He that is good in the sight of God shall be delivered from her; But the sinner shall be caught by her.

²⁷Behold, this have I found, said the Preacher, Seeking by one at a time to find out the account,

²⁸Which my soul sought after, but I found not: For I have found one man of a thousand; But a woman in all these I have not found.

²⁹But, behold, this have I found, That God made man upright; But they have sought out many devices. Who knows the wise? And who knows the interpretation of a saying?
