Ecclesiastes 7:26-28

English Standard Version Anglicised

²⁶ And I find something more ^(A)bitter than death: ^(B)the woman whose heart is ^(C)snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but ^(D)the sinner is taken by her. ²⁷ Behold, this is what I found, says ^(E)the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things— ²⁸ which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. ^(F)One man among a thousand I found, but ^(G)a woman among all these I have not found.
