Ecclesiastes 7:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ A woman who hunts a man down
    is more painful than death.
Her heart is like a trap.
    Her hands are like chains.
A man who pleases God will try to get away from her.
    But she will trap a sinner.

“I added one thing to another to find out
    everything I could about wisdom.
²⁸ I searched and searched
    but found very little.
I did find one honest man among a thousand.
    But I didn’t find one honest woman among a thousand.
