Ecclesiastes 7:26-28

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁶ And I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters; he who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her. ²⁷ Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, adding one thing to another to find the sum, ²⁸ which my mind has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.
