Ecclesiastes 7:26-28

New International Version - UK

²⁶ I find more bitter than death
    the woman who is a snare,
whose heart is a trap
    and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
    but the sinner she will ensnare.

‘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 among them all.
