Ecclesiastes 7:26-28

Contemporary English Version

²⁶ Here is what I discovered: A bad woman is worse than death. She is a trap, reaching out with body and soul to catch you. But if you obey God, you can escape. If you don't obey, you are done for. ²⁷ With all my wisdom I have tried to find out how everything fits together, ²⁸ but so far I have not been able to. I do know there is one good man in a thousand, but never have I found a good woman.
