Ecclesiastes 7:26-28

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁶ I find that a woman whose thoughts are ⌞like⌟ traps and snares is more bitter than death itself. Even her hands are ⌞like⌟ chains. Whoever pleases God will escape her, but she will catch whoever continues to sin.

²⁷ The spokesman said, “This is what I’ve found: I added one thing to another in order to find a reason for things. ²⁸ I am still seeking a reason for things, but have not found any. I found one man out of a thousand who had it, but out of all these I didn’t find one woman.
