Ecclesiastes 7:26-28
New International Version
26 I find more bitter than death
the woman who is a snare,(A)
whose heart is a trap
and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
but the sinner she will ensnare.(B)
27 “Look,” says the Teacher,[a](C) “this is what I have discovered:
“Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—
28 while I was still searching
but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
but not one upright woman(D) among them all.
